  1. Thanks for the article, i would argue the same as above but also without any need for the sum accumulator e.g.:

    “`
    const sumBelowRec (n) => () =>
    n === 0
    ? 0
    : n + sumBelowRec(n – 1)
    “`

  2. Accumulator is important because it will only work if you return trampoline function (same as Tail call). Otherwise you will sum up number with function.
