It depends on the area. The Python LANGUAGE does not have multdimensional
arrays with slices and intrinsic functions, but Fortran 90/95 does and can
be considered a higher-level language for numerical work. Of course, the
Numeric and Numarray Python modules do provide this functionality. 

There is a question of whether one should include common libraries when comparing
the functionality of various languages.

Allocatable arrays in Fortran 95 are automatically deallocated when they
go out of scope, so memory management is mostly automatic.
