Also "compile-time garbage collection" or "compile-time memory

"uniqueness types",
"affine types"
which allow for in-place updating (reusing
memory) without observable side-effects when absence of other
references can be proven statically. Perhaps also "fusion", which
avoids the allocation of intermediate structures, when it can be
proven statically that construction will be followed immediately
by deconstruction.
This is all great fun, but really off-target for JS. JS has no type
system, lots of aliasing, and a never-ending need for speed.
