I suggest that you pay attention to the numbers in the article. Even super-fast allocation can become an avoidable cost at certain scale.

I get that; but the issue isn't language / runtime specific. You'll hit similar issues in pretty much any programming language / runtime.

Reusing memory used to be pretty standard for C/C++ programmers; and is also standard practice for "real time Java."

Exactly, it is not language-specific. The article could phrase its conclusion better.
