If coroutine launched with start=LAZY and never called start can it be just GCed or need explicitly be cancelled?

[Dmitry Khalanskiy [JB]]

You should typically cancel it. Otherwise, the parent coroutine will wait for it, so this code hangs:

coroutineScope {
        launch(start = CoroutineStart.LAZY) {
        }
    }
