Sorry, are you saying the NSA’s information sheet shouldn’t have mentioned specific languages? Why not?
Comment on The NSA advises move to memory-safe languages

Not really manual memory management. I’d say C++'s memory management is automatic, just not safe.
Yes, a lot of programming languages are memory safe, maybe it would be faster to list memory unsafe popular languages.
