It's true, a seg/page/fault would take down the whole server, and any requests executing on that process would die too. However in fairness, this is one of the advantages of using a dynamic language, rather than one where you're dealing with memory allocation all the time.
- cdavid 15y agoI think you are confused about what a page fault is: that's what happens when the memory manager of your OS needs to load a page from the disk ("swap"). Dynamic language does not help you at all for that. It does not help you with segfault either BTW, because typing does not have much to do with memory management. Many statically typed languages cannot have segfaults either, from java to haskell.
