Systems programming language

What is the best "systems" programming language?

Very few mentions of assembler. Lots of mentions of very high level languages features. No consideration to the performance obtained with assembler. Plus simplicity due to direct hardware control.

Only restriction would be the fact that assembler is tied to a specific hardware architecture. However, as of today there are very few distinct architectures, it seems this is a minor nuisance.

Also, good to see a reference to ADA. Also to Lispworks.

Very disturbing several references to C as a low-level language.
