   I never program Erlang, but I think yes, something like this. 
The people who developed Erlang definitely have a lot of 
experience developing services.

  I think if we have a task with safe code only, and communication 
with message passing, it's isolated good enough to make error 
kill this task only. In any case, I still can drop the whole 
application myself if I think it will be the more safe way to 
deal with errors. So paranoids do not lose anything in the case 
of this approach.
