divide by zero crashes tic80

I was doing some tweetcart experiments and accidentally did a divide-by-zero which crashed the app. pico-8 handles this quietly, which IMO is a double edged sword, but a run-time error would be fine I think.

I tried this in JavaScript:

// title:  game title
// author: game developer
// desc:   short description
// script: js

var x=96

function TIC()
{
	x=x/0
}

And nothing happened, it didn't crash and didn't throw an error.
So I'm guessing it's Lua-exclusive?

It may be a Lua thing...

I tested the code

-- title:  game title
-- author: game developer
-- desc:   short description
-- script: lua

t=0
x=96
y=24

test=y/0
trace(test)
function TIC()end
exit()

and got inf output without any crash

Seems, the crash occurred in the other situation, closing.

This issue still occurs while using Wren and the line function:

Should I open a new issue?

Maybe an issue for Wren?
