so basically anything without manual memory management. I don't really see a good point in shilling particular names aside from discussions on performance impact of GC vs VM vs ownership
Not really manual memory management. I'd say C++'s memory management is automatic, just not safe.
Yes, a lot of programming languages are memory safe, maybe it would be faster to list memory unsafe popular languages.
Sorry, are you saying the NSA's information sheet shouldn't have mentioned specific languages? Why not?
