Define systems programming. If you mean could you write servers in it, then yes (there's a web stack for it already). If you want to write an OS kernel in Julia, then you probably could, but I'm not sure you'd want to.
There are times when having an English word for "no, well– yes, but I don't know why you'd want to" would be very useful. It'd have to be pretty short to save breath every time a computer scientist must answer the question, "But is it a systems programming language?"
mu is more like "you've made a category error" or "the question makes no sense" rather than "technically yes, but you wouldn't want to" - which is what the post you were responding to seemed to be aiming for

Maybe 無 (mu) [0], which is something philosophically in between yes and no.
