I remember wanting to do a computer system along this line -- like Erlang to the max -- instead of guarding against errors, let things fail and contain the failure to a meaningful boundary (a specific process or module with limited state) and recover as fast as possible https://social.gfsc.studio/@nach/111283791813931656
more specifically, we had been talking about how to embed arbitrary C code and what to do if it segfaults or something, and I was like… maybe you can just fence it into a Unix process, let it crash, and then recover
transactional memory also has some of this flavor from the little I know about it
