MODERATORS
Don't assume too much from the headline, folks. They're not saying everything has to be rewritten by 2026. They're saying new product lines serving critical infrastructure should be written in memory-safe languages, and existing ones should have a memory safety roadmap.
If you're about to post about how you think that's unreasonable, I think you should explain why.
