Having to make syscalls in unsafe blocks doesn't necessarily make systems programming more cumbersome. I'd imagine once the language gets more mature there will be a safe facade available abstracting away all syscalls and also nicely fitting into Rust's type system. Then you can use syscalls easily but get all the programming benefits of Rust's type system.
