Comment (by carter):

 Static memory management is great when possible, but for the programs
 people write in GHC, that would not be possible in general.

 However, static allocation / mem management would be an interesting
 optimization. Alternatively, some of the ideas in
 http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regions could perhaps be adapted, and
 it would be interesting to enable the application of a regions discipline
 to Haskell memory management.

 Relatedly: you should check out the DDC compiler and language, which has a
 number of these ideas more deeply baked in http://disciple.ouroborus.net/
