Not really. Those are equivalent to monitors and links in Erlang/BEAM, if we go this line of thought. OTP is a collection of architectural patterns coded down in Erlang (what means OTP is a framework).

We are talking about error handling. My point: "let it crash" aka "failstop principle" is well known for decades, and practiced in all major languages.

Carried away a little. Not to say it's not interesting to compare Unix/C programs with OTP/Erlang, but it's a different subject.
