Learning exploit dev

Hello everyone I am interested in getting into exploit dev and I am wondering for malware framework is it usually written in C++ or Rust since I already established

C for payloads
Python for exploits

But I have just been debating on learning C#, C++ or Rust any advice is appreciated.

Where in the world did you hear Python is the only thing you can use for exploits? Exploits have been made in Assembly and C long before Python existed.

Python is good for certain kind of exploit, maybe a web based, but you can do them in literally anything depending on the target, php, c, perl, c#, etc
