launch is like thread. So behaves the same way with exceptions. Try to launch such code:

Copy code

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    println("Started")
    thread {
        TODO("Not ready!")
    }
    Thread.sleep(100)
    println("Finished")
}

You will see:

Copy code

Started
Exception in thread ....
Finished

It’s default behaviour of JVM. But for example on Android such code would crash application
