Aggh, why did I read the orange site comments about the "NSA advises move to memory-safe languages" article? Save your brain cells, don't.
But the report is worth a peek. https://media.defense.gov/2023/Dec/06/2003352724/-1/-1/0/THE-CASE-FOR-MEMORY-SAFE-ROADMAPS-TLP-CLEAR.PDF
Note that it's not just NSA; it's a joint report from US/CAN/UK/NZ/AU .. which, I guess being all the five eyes countries doesn't help with the tinfoil brigade. 😜 But seriously, write new code in memory-safe languages if at all possible.
