FYI

The US National Security Agency (NSA) published guidance today to help software developers and operators prevent and mitigate software memory safety issues, which account for a large portion of exploitable vulnerabilities.

Memory safe languages

Using a memory safe language can help prevent programmers from introducing certain
types of memory-related issues. Memory is managed automatically as part of the
computer language; it does not rely on the programmer adding code to implement
memory protections. The language institutes automatic protections using a combination
of compile time and runtime checks. These inherent language features protect the
programmer from introducing memory management mistakes unintentionally. Examples

of memory safe language include C#, Go, Java®, Ruby™, Rust®, and Swift®.
