A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Am I right in thinking that this, which I totally didn't write, will permanently tie up one of the few Default threads, and that four of these running on a 4-core machine would prevent any coroutines from running on Default?
```val someStateFlow: StateFlow&lt;Unit&gt; = ...
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Default) { someStateFlow.collect { ... } }```

As long as there is no long blocking operation done on the threads, it's not a problem per se. Collecting a stateflow never ends, indeed. But every iteration in the `collect` call has a suspension point, so the thread is regularly yielded to other coroutines (they can interlace freely)

You could technically have concurrency even with 1 thread this way

Oh, that makes perfect sense. Thanks (again)

But yeah, don't use `GlobalScope` :smile:
