That's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for! However, before accepting I'll wait to see if others can provide some info on other programming languages. Or maybe you can?

Some languages will have optimizations to reduce the stack usage for recursive method calls. You won't find a language that consumes much more stack than Java for each method call, since this is almost universal behavior. Stack size and reference size will also vary. For instance, if you've got a 32 bit operating system, some languages, like C (but not Java, since it uses a virtual machine) will have 32 bit (4 byte) references. In this case you'd be able to store more references on the same amount of stack space. There is no guarantee in any case what the exact stack space will be.
