The “coroutines are lightweight” example will produce a OutOfMemory Exception in the kotlin playground. Is there something special about the playground or did something change in regard to how coroutines

import kotlinx.coroutines.*
    
fun main() = runBlocking {
    repeat(100_000) { // launch a lot of coroutines
        launch {
            delay(1000L)
            print(".")
        }
    }
}

It works with 50k. So I guess the containers are just too constrained in terms of memory resources (which totally makes sense) so the GC work is too high to clean it up

Just very limited in memory
