Systems research has changed drastically in the last 20 years, but it’s still a pretty strong community. Interest in OS-specific research, on the other hand, is mostly dead, general internet in OS likewise (people generally have what they want in an OS by now).

PL research on the other hand, is in trouble, but that’s a different topic.

Why would you say that PL research is in trouble? Conferences like PLDI and more ones like LANGSEC are going strong and there are probably more out there.
