This exact same sentiment came through in the National Cyber Security Strategy the US released. It describes a minimum acceptable level of software development, called safe harbours, based on e.g. the NIST Secure Development Standards.

Whether we like it or not, it seems legislation is forming on how to code and ship software.

If I remember correctly, it says that memory unsafety is not tolerated anymore, which is far the most important issue we have.

The ,,rewrite in Rust'' crowd was mocked here, but there are just too many cyber attacks with growing damage and targeting politicians in power that memory unsafe code shouldn't be accepted anymore.
