The document discusses different runtime environments for programming languages: (1) Fully static environments where all data remains fixed in memory like FORTRAN77. No dynamic allocation. (2) Stack-based environments used by languages allowing recursion and dynamic allocation like C/C++. Activation records are allocated on a runtime stack. (3) Dynamic environments like LISP where data is allocated on a heap. It covers key aspects of runtime environments like memory organization, calling conventions, parameter passing, and handling local variables and procedures. Different languages require different solutions for variable-length data, nested declarations, non-local references, and procedure parameters.
