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.

Even safe rust can do it, if we allow compiler bugs

Ive also seen this, but not from js but node

I have seen a Java program I wrote terminate with SIGSEGV. I think a library was causing it.
