Go blocks are GC'd but not until they complete running. The problem is that you're creating go blocks faster than they can run. Creating go blocks is very cheap, taking/putting into channels is also cheap but not quite as cheap. Therefore the outer loop will eventually allocate so many blocks that you're run OOM.
