One question: define "systems programming" for us laymen.

I'm using "systems programming language" to mean any programming language that typically compiles down to machine code, and that typically has memory or performance considerations. Python, as an example, would not count here, since Python code does not get compiled.

Of course there is a fuzzy line of languages that some may define as "systems languages" while others disagree. Ultimately, I just want to share in the passion of writing code with people who also enjoy writing code. I find programming itself interesting and enjoyable, not just as a means to an end, including the actual process of turning the human-readable code into something the machine can use. I want to find other people who feel the same way.
