Since we're being pedantic, all mainstream languages (even Rust) have a runtime, so your "managed vs unmanaged" language distinction is completely meaningless. :)

If there is a salient distinction, it's whether the runtime is easily and practically distributed as part of the compiled artifact, which is true for C, Rust, Go, etc but not so much for Python or JS (nor probably Java or C#, although there are efforts for static, native compilation for those platforms which probably come with significant caveats).
