@@ -36,16 +36,20 @@ Then the `steps` function can execute the same code again with new values.
 Meaning we can get a long chain or stack of `1 + steps(number)` until the number reaches one and the code adds 0.
 That translates to something like this: `1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0`.
 
+Python doesn't have [tail call optimization][tail-call].
+Which means that the stack of `1 + steps(number)` will grow until it reaches the recursion limit.

 In Python, we can't have a function call itself more than 1000 times by default.
-Code that exceeds this recursion limit will throw a  [RecursionError][recursion-error].
-While it is possible to adjust the [recursion limit][recursion-limit], doing so risks crashing Python and may also crash your system.
