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.
