Why do you think the use of a stack reduces the optimization space? There are plenty of models for stack optimization. Even if you don't go down the purist track, plenty of approaches use register-allocation and optimize from there. Feels like an outdated CISC vs RISC argument. People also use the JVM because of it's Memory Model and robust threading.
