This question is too vague, it depends on your target.

I recommend you to take a look at the following thread and especially the coding section : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=6263412

I'm also talking about programming and malware in the coding section

You can do blackhat with C, blackhat with python, blackhat with go, blackhat with Rust.

Know the domain, and how the tools are made(logic wise) then use any language

Since they are tightly integrated with .Net there are multitude of ways interacting with the win32 API which can be compiled and ran on any system. Python is not native to most windows systems, and if even the system does have it, the dependencies to support a malicious program may not be supported on the targeted system. Other languages like Go may support compiled binaries, but I don't have enough experience to say there wouldn't be other issues involved. However, I think it would be safe to say that C/C# would be your best choice.

This is all under the assumption you would be writing malicious binaries for windows.
