    But, due to the young ecosystem, Rust isn't often the best choice for the 2nd category. There are exceptions: while working on a ROP exploitation CLI tool, I was surprised to find the top 3 fastest x86-64 disassemblers are all written in Rust. But other languages just have more mature security ecosystems. Python in particular has some amazing libraries like scapy and bindings for yara.
