It's not heap allocations. The problem is that during CTFE, currently basically every variable change allocates memory that is never freed again. I've used a few tricks to get the memory usage down (which is why the Diet compiler source code doesn't look very pretty), but basically the only way to get reasonable memory use is to fix the D front end.
Indeed, this is a front end issue. I'm considering switching to markdown files loaded at runtime for many pages. So I can create only a few diet templates for basic layout, two column, generic changelog template, etc, and then load Markdown content at runtime and parse Markdown for generating the table of contents automatically.
