Regarding "Now, I am not a politican, and these bills are huge, so I wasn’t able to figure out how these bills do this specifically [..]", I think the relevant reference is on page 864 of [1]:
"SEC. 1613. POLICY AND GUIDANCE ON MEMORY-SAFE SOFT- WARE PROGRAMMING.
(a) POLICY AND GUIDANCE.—Not later than 270 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall develop a Department of Defense wide policy and guidance in the form of a directive memorandum to implement the recommendations of the National Security Agency contained in the Software Memory Safety Cybersecurity Information Sheet published by the Agency in November, 2022, regarding memory-safe software programming languages and testing to identify memory-related vulnerabilities in software developed, acquired by, and used by the Department of Defense."
The mentioned "Software Memory Safety Cybersecurity Information Sheet" is probably [2] which explicitly lists "C#, Go, Java®, Ruby™, Rust®, and Swift" as examples for memory safe languages.
I'm still looking for the equivalent EU document and would be grateful for any hints.
EDIT: I could not find any reference to memory safety in any of the EU documents but interestingly the "Impact Assessment Report" [3] mentions Rust and Go specifically.
