Not in GC languages that also have value types.

For example you can do all of that in Modula-3, Active Oberon, Component Pascal and many others without allocating more than in C for example.

Mixing all GC enabled languages in the same box is a mistake.

I don't know why they downvote you. Even in Java with no value types yet, there are ways to write useful code with no or almost no managed heap allocation. And if you don't need ultra low pauses, mixing these techniques, e.g. using managed heap for 80% of non-performance critical stuff and using careful manual dynamic allocation for the rest 20% (e.g. large data buffers) typically gets you all good things at once: high throughput, low pauses, almost no GC activity when it matters and convenience of writing most of the code.
