I would argue it’s intrinsic to the language itself. In fact I did as a pedagogical tactic.

You can't have those things without runtime support. E.g. in Go/Rust a panic will kill the app. In Erlang an equivalent catastorphic failure in a process will kill the process, will notify the monitoring processes, the app will keep on running.
