Why would you need hundreds of thousands or millions of goroutines for a cell phone app/daemon?

I would expect the number (and corresponding memory usage) to therefore be low.

The only numbers in programming are one, two, and many.

So if you’re not very careful and nothing stops you, it’s pretty easy to create an unbounded amount of anything.

By that logic, allowing more than 2 byte allocations is a mistake.
