This page is largely redundant with Ousterhout's dichotomy. One of these should be assimilated into the other. --FOo 03:13, 4 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

The concept of "system programming language" was around long before Ousterhout - I remember discussing the concept in 1981, and there was a minor industry in system programming languages before C came to dominate. "Ousterhout's dichotomy" could be redirected to reinvention of the wheel :-), or just cut down to say that he made the observation and to explain his viewpoint, while this article focuses just on the history and characteristics of system programming languages.
