The reason that Java does excessive amounts of allocation is
because Java doesn't have value types, not because Java has a

That might change if IBM's extensions ever land in Java.

Walter is right regarding D. All other GC enabled systems
programming languages do have value objects and don't require
everything to be on heap.
So the stress on the GC to clean memory is not as high as on Java
and similar systems.
