Are you claiming that there are never any crashes or downtime in any device?

  Sigh. No. Where did I say "never crashes" ? You on the other hand seem to be implying that a different programming model will result in a never crashing system at the scale of the current internet.

    You claimed non-stop without any facts or anything. I'm saying that we could have way fewer bugs and crashes with better languages and tooling.

    Erlang crowd seems to `put their money where their mouth is` regarding this question.

      Remember Erlang runtime is also written in C ultimately. I would have believed claims about Erlang "never crashes" if I hadn't had to personally debug mysterious hangs in Erlang runtime (running RabbitMQ): http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/infinite-loop-when-beam-smp-compiled-with-O2-on-debian-lenny-td2124578.html http://erlang.2086793.n4.nabble.com/infinite-loop-when-beam-...
