Touted often around here is the term "systems language".
May we please discuss a definition to be agreed upon for the usage this

examples of PLs that might also be members of the "set of systems
languages". Given a general subjective term like this, one would have to
suspect that the D PL is not the only member of this set.

PS. my apologies for posting a lame joke recently; certainly it was not
meant to be disparaging towards the D PL and hopefully it was not taken
this way.
From my pov, a systems programming language has pointers. That's all.
And therefore candidate languages might include ... and exclude ...?
