This report […] acknowledges the challenges and aims to provide a balanced view of the state of MSLs. Reducing memory safety vulnerabilities requires understanding when MSLs are appropriate, knowing how to adopt them effectively, and recognizing where non-MSLs remain practical necessities.

I like that there’s a bit of a pragmatic tone.

I think the last US government push to use memory safe languages was a Biden-era Whitehouse memo.

Spotted this one in The Register.
