Tree recursion is a technique used to traverse a tree-like data structure by recursively visiting each node and its children.
In JavaScript, tree recursion is typically implemented using a recursive function that takes a node as input and calls itself on each of its child nodes until all nodes have been visited.
The problem with tree recursion is that it can lead to stack overflow errors for trees that are very deep.
To optimize tree recursion, one proposed optimization is tail recursion, which restructures the recursive function so that the recursive call is the last thing it does.
