I think he meant System (!= Native). E.g. none of the languages 
listed above have inline assembly, which is crucial if e.g. your 
doing kernel level programming or low-level optimizations. Also, 
(AFAIK) none of these language allow you to easily create threads 
outside of their language runtime, which is critical for e.g. 
writing real-time audio DAW plugins (see 
https://www.auburnsounds.com/blog/index.html). Also unlike D, the 
GCs of each respective language is implemented in a different 
language (C++, IIRC).
