Huh. By that definition Java isn't managed, which seems to be missing the point and not as nearly useful as a broad category like everyone outside the Microsoft ecosystem uses it. That said, even if "CLR" is sensibly replaced with "CLR, JVM or similar", it does seem like I have the etymology/definition wrong, thanks.

Yes, I also think of Java as "managed". But the common idea of "managed" seems to be more than only "garbage collected".
