they can enforce that position by funding projects that are written in languages that they believe are memory safe. they do not need, or want, to legislate that

  Funny that you mention that, EU does sponsor Rust development. "Logical Foundations for the Future of Safe Systems Programming" https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/683289 https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/683289 As for US, https://media.defense.gov/2022/Nov/10/2003112742/-1/-1/0/CSI_SOFTWARE_MEMORY_SAFETY.PDF https://media.defense.gov/2022/Nov/10/2003112742/-1/-1/0/CSI... "NSA advises organizations to consider making a strategic shift from programming languages that provide little or no inherent memory protection, such as C/C++, to a memory safe language when possible. Some examples of memory safe languages are C#, Go, Java, Ruby™, and Swift®. Memory safe languages provide differing degrees of memory usage protections, so available code hardening defenses, such as compiler options, tool analysis, and operating system configurations, should be used for their protections as well. By using memory safe languages and available code hardening defenses, many memory vulnerabilities can be prevented, mitigated, or made very difficult for cyber actors to exploit."
