My brother told me this must mean that AS isn't tail-end recursive or

The phrase he probably used (or at least meant) was "does not optimize
tail recursion." "Tail recursion" refers to a recursive call at the
very end of a function; such calls can be implemented using merely a
goto back to the beginning instead of a full function call with its
attendant stack frame.
