I'm my personal (and biased) experience, C++ is significantly more common than Java in HFT (which does exist, along some C#). I'm not aware on anybody doing pure C although I'm sure there are.

"Because Rust" and safety, of course. I wonder if programming on Windows just sucks in general, and all these are Windows trading shops. Do you even have all the tools you need to write large programs on Windows? Valgrind, libfuzzer, etc. etc.

Plenty of tools, assuming one doesn't come to Windows with an UNIX mindset, or wants freeloading.
