>I'd trust Ken Thompson and Rob Pike to understand what system programming is better than some random dude on HN.
You'd be surprised, Pike has more or less retracted the "systems" moniker due to the reaction it got. He avoids the term now as a result.
I know this because I've been watching Go itself very closely.
But hey, it's just Rob Pike. Maybe ken still calls it a "systems" language. I'm still just a random dude on HN who thought plan9 was a fantastic idea and keeps track of Pike's work as a result :)
