hi, i have a question regarding new structured coroutines.
In here it says <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/docs/basics.md#scope-builder>

&gt; The main difference between runBlocking and coroutineScope is that the latter does not block the current thread while waiting for all children to complete.

But when i run the example there the nested launch inside `coroutineScope` blocks the execution of the `runblocking` scope and the last `println("Coroutine scope is over")` is always printed the last.

Am i getting it wrong? Or there is a mistake in the docs

`coroutineScope` exits only after all the scoped coroutines have completed.

However, it doesn’t block any thread.

Once execution is suspended in the  `coroutineScope` block, the thread is free to do some other work until the block is resumed again continuing from where it left off

Did you read this yet?
