Here is an example I used to teach writing loops as tail-recursive  
functions:

Here is the source code for this example:

> <https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats-contrib/blob/master/projects/SMALL/JSmydraw/Sierpinski_3angle/Sierpinski_3angle_txt.dats>

I put it here so that the example could be easily found by searching the  
phrase ‘poor man’.

Cheers!
