It is confusing some people told me he used Java to develop systems

development. I guess it depends on the definitions of 'systems
software', but my understanding is that at least it should be able to
manipulate memory addresses like C. I am not sure, please comment and
advice.
Java is very well suited for databases and application servers.
IBM has shown that most of a JVM itself can be written in Java.
MS has shown that most of an OS can be written in C# and
that should indicate that Java could be used as well.
A few things can not be written in Java, but the lines
of code would be relative small compared to the
total size.
