We're all waiting for your anti-malware Rust Win32 kernel module...

Ok, but seriously I don't believe this will ever happen and I don't really think this is a language debate nor do I want to engage in one.

This is about putting critical infrastructure connected to the internet that's running an operating system that you can't trust out of the box. Since the Windows OS is susceptible to so much malware you need all these third party services (which you also can't trust or audit, but it's absolutely better than not having anything) on top of the OS.

There was a whole host of companies that had zero problems, not because they're using Rust, but because they have much better security practices and quality infosec employees.
