From the conclusion:

The authoring agencies urge executives of software manufacturers to prioritize using MSLs [memory-safe languages] in their products and to demonstrate that commitment by writing and publishing memory safe roadmaps. The authoring agencies encourage software manufacturers to lead from the top by publicly naming a business executive who will personally drive the elimination of memory safety vulnerabilities from the product line.

They are absolutely right, but will be interesting to see the reaction from the tinfoil hat lot.

I am immediately suspicious of anything the NSA recommeds. I'll buy extra tin foil if I have to, but this is also the agency encouraging organizations to use cryptography that they have backdoors into. They are not your friends, and anything with their name on it deserves skepticism.

The last thing I want is the NSA recommending my software. It's cause for minor panic and a thorough review.

That's reverse psychology. They know everyone will lose trust in Rust and go back to memory unsafe languages so they can hack our software again.

That's exactly what they think you're thinking about what they think you thought they were thinking, I wouldn't fall for it

Found the NSA agent. Don't trust what they tell you to not trust when you're not trusting. That's what they want you to want.

That's true. So I use Rust but I don't use Rust.
