Given the languages all produce native instructions which then do the same job, is there really a huge difference for malware scanners? They for sure wouldn't look at debug symbols, and hope malware authors were kind enough to include them.

Weird ABIs can certainly screw up automated malware analysis, but (AFAICT) Hare doesn't have a particularly weird ABI (I believe they're aiming for low-overhead interoperability with C, which precludes completely alien ABIs like Go's).
That being said: automated malware analysis is of dubious efficacy and flexibility to begin with, so who knows.
