Some languages have to optimize it with various tricks. There's a good reason why I call heavily functional "programmer wankery". It took me a while to run into an issue that was caused by a variable modified in a wrong way, which I fixed by saving the value of the variable before a call that seems to alter it. Probably I should have instead properly fix it so I could understand the actual root cause, but I have limited time to spend on things.
