It seems to md that systems (with a 's') programming was a term lntroduced by Go, and I always understood it has something with a wider scope than system programming - actually "intermediate level" applications for which a GC is acceptable both time-wise and space-wise.
Yet for system (without 's') programmers (kernel, driver or embedded systems devs for instance) a GC is still a no-go.
- cat199 9y ago> lntroduced by Go no. further popularized perhaps, but no. perhaps a shorthand for 'distributed systems' programming, idk. Definately heard the phrase applied in this area 10+ years ago, by people who had been around for 10+ years (see also go authors)
