A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

any idea why the following :
```fun main() {
    repeat(1_000_000) {
        thread {
            Thread.sleep(5000)
            print(".")
        }
    }
}```
is not giving an OutOfMemoryError anymore? It was giving it two months ago. Now it is just working a lot more slowly than the coroutines version. I'm using `Android Studio Giraffe | 2022.3.1 Patch 1`  + `kotlin-stdlib 1.6.21`  The original source code: <https://github.com/LukasLechnerDev/Kotlin-Coroutines-and-Flow-UseCases-on-Android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/lukaslechner/coroutineusecasesonandroid/playground/fundamentals/7_starting_lots_of_threads.kt|7_starting_lots_of_threads.kt>

Gives OOM in <http://play.kotlinlang.org|play.kotlinlang.org> :thinking_face:

I assume you’re not using virtual threads by mistake :face_with_peeking_eye: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: 

Created a new Android project and tested the same code there - OOM was thrown. Went back to the previous project that was not giving OOM to test again - and this time it was an OutOfMemoryError . Checked the project files, none were changed in any way, git had nothing to commit. So it must be something in my local setup. It feels like a brand new toy has been shown to you and then suddenly taken away. I was already looking forward an investigation.
