Older TeX engines had hard memory limit, so in case of such
"syntactical" errors the engine would consume all its allocated memory
and die (with a misleading error message), LuaTeX dynamically allocates
memory (for good reasons) so it won't stop before consuming all your
available memory, its the responsibility of an operating system to
prevent such a faulty application from taking the whole system down.
