I'm not familiar with Active Oberon or Modula 3, but Java and .NET absolutely do not. You can bolt on message passing but it's a constraint of the VM to properly handle prescheduling and heap per process isolation.

Mimicking the patterns doesn't replace the VM.

Java and .NET are not only the Java and C# programming languages.

There are for example, distributed agent programming languages built on top of them, including network aware distributed GCs.
