Systems languages created as a successor to, or an extension of, an older language rather than from a blank page. Modula-3 was conceived as the successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2 known as Modula-2+, Carbon is an experimental language designed for interoperability with C++ that was started at Google, and Cilk adds constructs for parallel loops and the fork-join idiom to C and C++. Each keeps a path open for programmers and code that already exist.
