Manually memory allocation has been there since the begining in interop APIs, and improved later on.

There is always C++ for those that don't want a tracing GC.

Why do you want that? This does not really win performance when you start to care about it yet imposes severe requirements on the programmer to ensure that manually deallocated object is not referenced anywhere.

Use structs for that.
