I went on the Haskell site to take a look at the language and I was blown away by the documentation for new people. There are free books on it, plenty of written tutorials, and even a browser interpreter that teaches you the basics of Haskell by prompting you to type code and then explaining it to you.

This is the first time I've ever seen a language that had a community so willing to try and teach you. Do any other language communities come close to this or is Haskell an anomaly?

source?
If I'm not mistaken TCO is a part of Project Lambda http://openjdk.java.net/projects/lambda/ which is planed to be incorporated in Java 8.

TCO cant be implemented with Java at all
A prototype was implemented here: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/

Here is the master thesis from the guy who did it: http://www.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/Research/Papers/Schwaighofer09Master/

TCO is the fundamental aspect of all lisp computation
This is just wrong. The Common Lisp standard doesn't include TCO either.
