As someone who speaks English poorly but has a little bit of experience with the subject, I surprised the proper name is systems programming, not system programming. Why it is so?
- switch007 4y agoI think because it sounds acceptable/nice, people use it. I don’t think anyone can say which is the “proper” name. Same debate happens with system(s) administration/administrators. It’s subjective and subject to pedantry
- jmull 4y agoI think it's "systems" because it's programming components to be used to build systems, not the programming to create a particular system. You're programming something to be used in systems.
- varjag 4y ago"systems" as in "computer systems"
