White House Recommends Memory Safe Languages

Just out of White House, we got a press release and an attached report that recommends memory safe programming languages for new products, and switching legacy code bases to memory safe programming languages. The text of the report excludes C and C++ explicitly.

Alex read the first part of the report and offers a quick overview of the recommendations and the possible effects in the industry.
