The story is that malware is being written in languages other than C and C++. Well, that's inevitable, because malware is an infinite arms race between avoidance and detection. The story is further that we should use behavior detection of malware, which is obviously a worthy idea. Most languages are useable as vehicles for malware, and I fail to see the reason any particular language should be singled out as being of concern. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
