Server crashed on log.Fatal with recovery middleware

[Kirari04]

Why does the Server crash when a log.Fatal is triggered and how to properly log fatal errors without crashing the whole server?
main.go

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4"
	"github.com/labstack/echo/v4/middleware"
)

func main() {
	e := echo.New()
	e.Use(middleware.Recover())
	e.GET("/", func(c echo.Context) error {
		if true {
			log.Fatal("WTF")
		}
		return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Hello, World!")
	})
	e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":1323"))
}

Terminal Output:

Expected behavior: Internalservererror response

This is because calling Fatal will cause application to exit.

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/08e35cc3347f97ef750fd21fbef1061b043580e4/src/log/log.go#L281-L285

// Fatal is equivalent to l.Print() followed by a call to os.Exit(1).
func (l *Logger) Fatal(v ...any) {
	l.Output(2, fmt.Sprint(v...))
	os.Exit(1)
}

p.s. any reasonably ok IDE can show you this - just hold down CTRL and left click on method call and you will be taken to (Goland) or you will see preview of (VScode) that method implementation.
