Or you can use a system designed to accomodate the occasional failure like Akka (running on the JVM they seem to hate so much) or Erlang.

(not to mention all the other weird points of comparison the author chose to call out) There's plenty of languages with runtimes that have fast start-up times. Does Node therefore suck because my Go application could potentially start-up faster? What about something Erlang on Xen where they're spinning up a brand new Xen domU to service a web request in the hundreds of milliseconds range? Brand new VM, can't really "crash" and need to be restarted because it's only ever there for a single request. I'm not really sure what the end goal of the whole article is, but it seems woefully written in terms of being technically rigorous.
