Exploit development - languages?

What languages do you use for exploits? Personally I'm a huge Python hater due to its super slow performance and changes to syntax over time (requiring users to fix old exploit code) so I use C whenever possible, even for remote exploits.

Depend on you're goals but often you need to use ASM, C to reverse engineering and you need Python to make you're exploit

I hate python too, but I think it really doesn't matter, you can use any scripting language you want,even Bash!, you can still use C/Go/Rust or other compiled languages,but they're slower to write and In general your exploit performance wont matter in this case unless it needs to deliver the payload/exploit super fast and mostly that's NOT the case,I would like to mention Lua (faster than python and super lightweight) but it lacks necessary libraries, Python/Ruby have a good community and rich library ecosystem that's why they're widely used.

you want something more performant use Go, easy to write and learn and I see a good community around it.
