Many require new projects to be written in memory safe languages. But what constitutes a memory safe language is blurry. For example, this is what the NSA says: https://readwrite.com/the-nsa-list-of-memory-safe-programmin...

Note the "suggests".

That’s what read wrote.com says. I think what the NSA says (or said; that is dated April 2023) is here: https://media.defense.gov/2022/Nov/10/2003112742/-1/-1/0/CSI...

I couldn’t find the word “suggest” or anything similar to it in that paper. They describe what they mean by “memory safety” and give examples of memoryxsafe languages (twice, both times the same list)
