What is systems programming?

Systems programming covers the development of software that rather than supplying the user with services directly, supplies services to other software. Think of it like the underlying gears that make all other software work.

Examples of software that fall under this category include Operating Systems, Game Engines, and Industrial Automation Applications.

Often systems programming takes place in the low level, with direct or close to direct access to the hardware of a machine, and little boiler plate to work on top of.

What sort of languages are used in systems programming?

Languages often used in systems programming include:

C/C++
Rust
Zig
