“I’m writing a recursive method with threads to optimize the CPU usage in a 0.02%” THIS IS A NONSENSICAL STATEMENT MADE BY DERANGED PEOPLE

I mean this is correct though

Recursion makes it cheaper to run in the dev’s mind, but more expensive to run on the computer. Subroutines are always slower than a simple jump.

Maybe for a Haskell programmer, divide-and-conquer algorithms, or walking trees. But for everything else, I’m skeptical of it being easier to understand than a stack data structure and a loop.

Yeah, you have to be pretty deranged to mix multithreading and recursion together.
