> everyone is suggesting to move to memory safe languages when possible

Be careful not to believe your own hyperbole. Some people are loudly and persistently recommending other people to use memory safe languages. Rust may be quite popular lately but the opinions held by some subset of that community does not reflect the opinions of "everyone". It would be just as silly to say: "everyone is suggesting to move to OSS licenses".

> sholdn't [... new projects ...] be done in a memory safe language

Again, please be careful to understand where you are getting this "should". What happens exactly if you don't choose a memory safe language? Will the government put you in jail? Or will a small vocal community of language zealots criticize you.

Maybe you feel like you want to fit in with "real" programmers or something. And you have some impression that "real" programmers insist on memory safe languages. That isn't the case at all.

In my experience, making technical decisions (like what programming language to use) to avoid criticism is a really bad path.
