    Not a word of a lie, I saw a “segmentation fault” error in JavaScript.

    Can’t remember how we resolved it, but it did blow my mind.

      Technically any language runtime can end in a segmentation fault.

      For some languages, in principle this shouldn’t be possible, but the runtimes can have bugs and/or you are calling libraries that do some native code at some point.

        Yup, can confirm. We had a wrapper to a C++ library using JNI, so whenever this library crashed so did the entire JVM.
