When a process is malfunctioning in Erlang, the philosophy of the language is to let the process crash–and in a distributed system where unexpected faults happen on a regular basis, this philosophy of “let it crash” simplifies how we reason about an Erlang system. Other distributed systems advantages of Erlang include the garbage collection strategy. Each
