Explore a conference talk from NDC TechTown that examines the growing pressure from regulatory bodies like the NSA and White House to move away from C/C++ towards memory-safe programming languages. Delve into the critical analysis of whether regulators are specifically targeting C++, understand the implications of these policy shifts, and learn what "memory safe" actually means in programming contexts. Gain insights into the feasibility of making C++ memory safe, evaluate the potential for continued regulatory pressure, and discover practical considerations for migrating to alternative languages, with a particular focus on Rust. Learn why regulatory bodies are pushing for this transition and what steps developers and organizations can take to adapt to these changing requirements in the software development landscape.
