That’s not a bug, it’s a limitation of your operating environment. Increase the stack size and it would work. What else would you expect to happen?

If your language doesn't handle this fact it's inherently unsafe, and a ticking time bomb. > What else would you expect to happen? Simply: No random crashes. Especially as such a crash relies on the environment where the code is run. So it may work just fine "on your machine" but than crash in production… That's imho a big no-no for anything that wants to be a "safe systems language" (especially as the post is mentioning things like nuclear power plants as target audience).
