>terminate your processes with no way to handle the error. This is fundamentally incompatible with the goal of writing robust and stable software

Having an assumption that your process will never crash is not safe. There will always be freak things like CPUs taking the wrong branch or bits randomly flipping. Parting of design a robust system is being tolerant to things like this.

Another point also mentioned is this thread is that by the time you run out of memory the system already is going to be in a bad state and now you probably don't have enough memory to even get out of it. Memory should have been freed already by telling programs to lighten up on their memory usage or by killing them and reclaiming the resources.
