I changed a few things, I:

  • removed the pseudo-definition of programming, and replaced it by referring to the programming article;
  • removed the "for computers" part, because system software is always for computers so there's no ambiguity to resolve;
  • removed examples of systems software, because that's the job of the system software article and this article is strictly about _programming_ system software;
  • removed the comment about SIC, which was irrelevant;
  • removed the comment about logging and monitoring, because those things are in no way specific to systems programming;
  • added some characteristics;
  • presented the characteristics in list form, and changed the description of programming languages to more accurately reflect the actual criteria;
  • made some minor additional changes.

I disagree with the removal of debugging and logging. While it is not specific to system programming, it has somehow different role in system programming from that in application programming. Moreover, I proposed the merger of system programming and system software. The two articles are still fairly short and and I thought it is a kind of awkward to talk about how to do system programming without elucidating what is system software. -- Taku 23:43, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
I would be in favor of a merger, but can't seem to find your proposal (I'm pretty new around here). Could you provide a link? Thanks. -- Eelis 23:53, 2005 May 21 (UTC)
