Depends on how you define fault here. Is it mere logical correctness of code or any error that might occur when code executes. If we follow former definition of fault then , they both are similar in being "fault-proof". If we follow later definition then execution environment of the program comes into play and it depends on a lot of variables and their complex interplay, that it becomes much harder to provide any formal guarantees of fault tolerance.

However there are execution environments, read RTOS that try to be fault tolerant. Also various virtual machines like JVM,CLR try to provide fault tolerance to varying degrees.
