To be honest, lack of isolation in Java land often manifests itself in the form of out-of-memory conditions which (by specification) impact the whole VM. NPEs do happen, of course, but the VM can recover from it without any problems at all (much like a web server can recover from a 404 error). _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
