Rob never said Go wasn’t a systems programming language. He said the pedantic rules lawyering that plagued the internet after the initial claim was made — the tedious pablum that you’re continuing to propagate — was all noise and no signal, and made the claim not worth claiming anymore. For fuck’s sake, give it a rest.

>Rob never said Go wasn’t a systems programming language. Yes he did. He said it's a cloud-infrastructure language[0] and that he regrets calling it a systems language. That's why he took systems language off the Golang site. >For fuck’s sake, give it a rest. Why would we when we're right? Why don't you give it a rest, you've long been proven wrong. You know, usage of the English language and the terms within matters. Claiming you have a systems language when you don't introduces confusion. You can loosen the terms all you want to but it will never change the fact that GC languages can never meet the strictest measure of a systems language. That's why it matters. No one should be apologizing to you because you don't like the facts.
