 The C++ programming language has faced criticism for its memory safety issues, which can pose significant risks to national security, economic security, and public health. The US Government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has identified the use of C++ in critical infrastructure as a major concern. In response, experts are advocating for the adoption of Rust's safety model into C++. This would enable C++ to evolve into a more memory-safe language, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities.
