If you create a class that implements CoroutineScope and keeps a local property to a

Job

, is the job cancelled if that object and the job are collected?

If you mean garbage collected: No, I don't think so. A Job is not cancelled when it's finalized. (and this wouldn't have worked on multi-platform Kotlin either, since there may not be any garbage collection)

Yes garbage collected. Thanks!

finalizers are evil. You should not be using them even on JVM

👍 generally agree. Just trying to understand cleanup responsibilities when you have your own CoroutineScope class that owns a Job

@elizarov just for my own curiosity, can you explain why finalizers are evil?
