Episode Synopsis

Interpreted, dynamically-typed, and object-oriented languages like Ruby and Python are very good for many programming task in my opinion. Such languages have many benefits from rapid, easy development to increased security against memory allocation and manipulation related vulnerabilities. However, choice of programming language alone does not guarantee the resulting software written in the language will be free of security vulnerabilities, which is an obvious point, but the sources of the potential vulnerabilities may not be obvious at all.
