A few months ago, NSA recommended Rust as an alternative to C and C++ and now CISA (I had to look it up, CISA is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) is talking about how memory safe languages like Rust can remove a whole class of security vulnerabilities: CISA Director Jen Easterly Lecture and Fireside Chat.

I work on Rust in Android and I find it really encouraging to see the language being highlighted again and again as a safe alternative to C and C++.
