Tbh, I've completely abandoned the concept of a systems programming language because the primary benefit of the concept seems to be to argue over it. There's practicality (eg can i link this into the kernel?) and then there's hand-waving about how it feels to a developer, and the conversation seems almost entirely subsumed by the latter.

See also: "is C a high-level or low-level language?" Just shoot me instead, please.
