System programming languages

Matej Šmit

Abstract

Most operating systems are written in the C programming language. Similar is with system software, for example, device drivers, compilers, debuggers, disk checkers, etc. Recently some new programming languages emerged, which are supposed to be suitable for system programming. In this thesis we present programming languages D, Go, Nim and Rust. We defined the criteria which are important for deciding whether programming language is suitable for system programming. We examine programming languages and analyze them according to defined criteria. Based on criteria we evaluate programming languages, compare them mutually and with the C programming language.
