Could you provide some context for the people who don’t use Erlang?

Erlang VM is supposed to be used for applications that need high reliability (it was developed for the telecom industry). A common idiom in Erlang applications is running many instances of a process and letting it crash when facing an unrecoverable error. After it crashes, it restarts, hence the meme.
