    Still very much relevant in Java if you don't want your GC to churn like mad. Heck even some of the cache aware algorithms can be taken advantage of with some smart use of ByteBuffers to get a 10-50x improvement in performance.

      Few applications need this... mostly in the financial space. The GC is quite good at quick temp objects these days.

  i'm not sure using a dynamic late scripting language is an excuse for pretending memory is infinite. :) but yes... i do have frustration from "highly skilled native programmers" who seem to think that memory is a boundless resource and then complain that something like 32GB is a constrained memory environment when it is the exact opposite.
