I think you could produce much better machine code by "templatizing" the stack allocations into function-specific pattern variables, passed to a single alloca-like function which uses the template to figure out how much stack space to allocate, displaces the stack pointer, and sets up all your metadata in one swoop. Also, this would improve the upgradability of the runtime/metadata, as it would be decoupled.

Heap is a centralized resource. Each allocation/free will have to acquire/release lock. It's much more costly than stack allocation/deallocation. You might get more efficient machine code, but using heap will likely cost more.

Hope this clarify what I meant your idea will make C like Java.
