White House urges developers to dump C and C++::Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities.
Your take is objectively false. This issue has been studied and the conclusion every time is that real programmers make memory-related mistakes all the time.
