I don't see how that could be done... Is it a result of laziness?

  You just push the stack into the heap, and don't have a specific area which is the stack area. It's pretty common as a technique if you have something such as call-with-current-continuation. The "stack" is still there in this case, but spread out over multiple heap blocks.

    Guie Scheme does something similar then. It expands the call stack so that you can't have a stack overflow. Pretty neat since it allows you to write recursive functions without accumulators. I suspect something like that is a bigger deal in eagerly evaluated languages.
