title: Is Python a Managed Code language?
body: <p>I am being <em>NOOBish</em> here but i am very much interested about managed code due to <strong><a href="http://heartbleed.com/" rel="nofollow">The Heartbleed Bug</a></strong>. </p>
  
  <p>I recently read this statement in HN which says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C and other languages without memory checks are unsuitable for writing
    secure code. Plainly unsuitable. They need to be restricted to writing
    a small core system, preferably small enough that it can be checked
    using formal (proof-based) methods, and all the rest, including all
    application logic, should be written using <strong>managed code</strong> (such as C#,
    Java, or whatever - I have no preference).</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So is Python a Managed Code Language or is <strong>managed code</strong> just a Microsoft terminology?</p>
