If this has to be forced, it probably isn't necessary or very beneficial. How much will it cost to conform to these "standards" versus not? Who stands to gain by making non-conformant software illegal? I think it is clearly far too expensive to rewrite all software and retrain all programmers to conform to arbitrary standards. Hardware solutions to improve memory safety already exist and may ultimately be the best way to achieve the goal. It seems to me that Rust programmers, unhappy with the pace of adoption of Rust, seek to make other languages illegal because they do things different from Rust.
