That uptime claim is probably not based on reliability, but on the 
ability to hot-swap code at runtime. Without such a feature, even the 
most reliable computer system (hardware + software) will have 
considerable downtime now and again just for the sake of updating the 
software.

As for reliability, with Wings 3D being written in Erlang I'd say 
apparently you can write unstable code in Erlang, too.
