> It's weird that languages with unpredictable runtime characteristics such as Java and C# are being advertised as systems programming languages.
Languages don't have unpredictable runtime characteristics, only specific language runtimes have unpredictable language characteristics. One could replace the standard .NET runtime GC with a hard realtime GC, and .NET would then have more predictable runtime characteristics than C and C++.
