none of the running threads have an ID of 0

[streetsofboston]

What about the main thread that runs main? That one probably has id=0

[Andrew Gazelka]

@streetsofboston shouldn't that be on the same thread as test1() though?

[streetsofboston]

If your main calls test1(), yes.

[Andrew Gazelka]

fun main() {
    test1()
}

[streetsofboston]

Mmmmm… that odd..

"Thread-0" is the thread name, which is not necessarily the same as the thread ID.

thread { 
  println(Thread.currentThread().id)
  println(Thread.currentThread().name)
 }

Running in the REPL gives

21
Thread-8

thanks @Nick Aiello

thread will use a default ThreadFactory which created it with that name
