Is recursion possible in scripting system

[t1mm3h]

A short question for which I didn't find an answer: is recursion possible in the scripting language that Bitcoin uses?

Strange question.

As far as I'm aware most Bitcoin Clients are written in C++.

So yes recursion is possible in C++. Not sure if that will help you though.

Script is simple, stack-based, and processed from left to right. It is purposefully not Turing-complete, with no loops

With no loops and no user definable functions/subroutines, I can't think of a way to create a recursive action.

Loops are not possible, if that is what you were wondering. If not, could you clarify by providing an example?

Thanks. In that sense I can't think of it either.
