Yeah, when a native app crashes, it just dies.

Whereas, generally with Common Lisp, I can trap the condition, fix the problem, and keep running.

I know what languages I'd consider starting grounds for 100% uptime systems (not 5 9s), and languages that segfault and die as part of their usual crash hangling are not among them.

(Erlang, Lisp, and Smalltalk would be my shortlist)
