> that is present in the research and documents behind the recent US government paper, is that memory safely in terms of allocations and references is only one of many elements
Can you provide a reference to the "research and documents behind the recent US government paper"? I still think that adding Delphi/Object Pascal to the list of examples of "memory safe" languages was by mistake. You can do exactly the same ugly things in Delphi/Object Pascal as you can do in C++, with no obligations imposed by the language to mark a section or module as "unsafe", and - on the other hand - both languages offer about the same number of "inherent language features [which] protect the programmer from introducing memory management mistakes unintentionally".
