Several characteristics of "good" programs relate to extension of their lifetime. Categories of such features are documentation, structure (modules, procedures, abstractions), and language features that increase checkable redundancy in a program.These features have nonzero and, perhaps, unjustified cost if the program is disposed of. Programs that are developed primarily for the "answer" and then discarded are termed "disposable".The educational ramifications of disposable programs are significant. Programs produced by students in programming courses are by nature disposable; they are disposed of at the end of the term.This conflicts with the emphasis by many instructors and textbooks on endurance, the converse of disposablility.

In recent years, high‐level programming languages have evolved specifically for systems programming. In this paper, systems programming languages are surveyed to find common characteristics and individual differences and limitations of a number of current languages, including Ada, Concurrent Pascal, CLU, Pascal‐Plus, Modula‐2, Mesa, Edison, PLZ/SYS and C. The survey is based on the following classification of systems programming concepts and facilities: types, sequential control, concurrency, encapsulation, environment specifications and programming support environments.
