everything we seriously use has the codebase in a non-memory-managed language. This is not true of ASP.NET nor Java applications. There may be very small parts that are in non-memory-managed languages. This is distinct from codebase in a non-memory-managed language.
"memory managed" is just a small point. No, it is a huge point. Doing assessments on an acre or two of asp.net or C# applications, you simply won't see the kind of error you see in flash, like the 400 game over vulnerabilities that google found when they fuzzed it.
