Both of them use linear types and something kinda vaguely like Rust move semantics (and, in the case of Hobbes, time & space sandboxes) to guarantee statically that code will execute within given time and/or space bounds. I also wrote (~20 years ago) an extension of Erlang that could do something similar (for small subsets of Erlang).

Granted, this doesn't fulfill all the requirements for being resilient, but if we manage to make it usable (let's say as usable as Rust), it would be a pretty large step forward.
