What is a "systems language" anyway? I realize I also use the term without having a clear definition for it. https://twitter.com/jonathanmarvens/status/662483865940787200 …
@bitsandhops @adantj @steveklabnik @izs @locks @polotek you can't reliably embed GC'ed languages in other languages, so I don't count them.

@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik@izs@locks@polotek system language is rather when you can run it on bare metal natively. -
@hauleth@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik@locks@polotek You can't run code on bare metal. Need circuits at least ;P -
@izs@hauleth@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik@polotek and we just found the new "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" -
@locks@hauleth@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik@polotek bush did systems programming -
@izs@locks@hauleth@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik I'm really glad I started this conversation. -
@polotek@locks@hauleth@bitsandhops@wycats@adantj@steveklabnik So much of "systems programming" is code for "Real Programmers" bs imo -
@izs@polotek@locks@hauleth@bitsandhops@adantj@steveklabnik Certainly that isn't what I mean when I talk about it re: Rust :) - 15 more replies

@wycats@bitsandhops@adantj@steveklabnik@locks@polotek Yeah, I was kinda joking about it being C-only. JS/Go/Ruby/Py/Rust sometimes ok. -
@wycats@bitsandhops@adantj@steveklabnik@locks@polotek What counts as "systems programming lang" depends on the "system" being prog'ed
