No. Heap area is distributed among many processes. Depending upon the
requirement and state of heap any process can get memory at any location.
In my opinion a process can get memory only from its own stack. The job
of increasing and decreasing stack is left to OS.
Also, I thought more and found two more things should be there.
1) Dynamic typing because templates syntax is way too complex.
2) As much as compile time computation as much possible. Something like
compile time constant computation of templates. I want to leave less and less
to runtime. This means all I/O like stdin, mouse, network, file, IPC,
inter-thread will not allow such computation to take place.
