I'm one of the authors of this paper and this comment pretty much hits it on the head. Jolt is an investigation in developing tools to help users get more use out of their programs when the alternative is failure. Because the reality is that there will always be programs that fail.
Most of the comments here are pretty fair about where Jolt might not be applicable (busy loops) and how this approach could be integrated with development; we touch on many these points in the paper (already linked by someone in the comments).
