Yes, but only for the time being. I‘ve recently published a paper on the topic. Rust and Golang are getting immensely popular with malware authors.

I mean, not really? There’s a lot of legacy stuff written in other languages, but malware authors have realized that people are less skeptical of rust and are actively taking advantage of that fact.
