The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI are urging software developers to transition from memory-unsafe languages like C and C++ to safer alternatives such as Rust, Java, and Python, due to the high risk of security vulnerabilities. Despite the push, the transition is challenging due to the complexity of converting existing codebases, potential performance slowdowns, and the cost of new tools. While CISA emphasizes the long-term security benefits, the shift is expected to be slow, with significant changes unlikely before the 2030s.
