Never done any professional systems programming. C is what comes to mind. But don't let the simplicity fool you. It's pretty easy to shoot yourself in the foot with C.
Recently I've been coming across ML family of languages. I see compiler books in OCaml. Atleast in the academic discussions I see the need to get away from C in terms of building reliable computer systems. Maybe it's a bit of a stretch to call it a systems programming language but maybe something to consider.
