"Systems Software Research is Irrelevant" lamented Rob Pike in 2000

This talk is a polemic that distills the pessimistic side of my feelings about systems research these days. I won’t talk much about the optimistic side, since lots of others can do that for me; everyone’s excited about the computer industry. I may therefore present a picture somewhat darker than reality. However, I think the situation is genuinely bad and requires action.

Some interesting languages have gotten serious traction since 2000. I wonder how RedoxOS is doing. It seems that contributions haven’t flagged.
