Hello, It's true that in C/Pascal-like languages activation records - which are used to store parameters, local variables, temporary variables, return addresses, dynamic and static links, exception-handling, and other information - are normally stored on one or more stacks. However, this is not the case for all languages and implementations. In languages where functions/procedures are first-class objects, activation records can be referenced by closures that are passed around as data with arbitrary lifetimes. These need to be allocated on a heap or other long-lived data structure and garbage-collected only after the last reference to them disappears, which may be not until the program terminates. Languages where this is true include -- lisp, ML, F#, javascript, perl, ruby, and quite a few others.
