Okay, but that's exception and exception handling not crashing. Crashing means the whole program dies. I can understand if the term "crash" is defined differently in Erlang world, but I don't understand why Erlang citizens don't know that the rest of the world calls that "exception" and that "exception handling" is implemented in many high level languages by default, doing exactly as the article explains you should be doing it. I mean, Erlang people also know other languages, right? I think there are more Erlang experts who know C++ than C++ experts who know Erlang.
