This might be https://github.com/golang/go/issues/34457 (at least, Brian's
repro). When a goroutine finishes, we deallocate its stack, and that
deallocation will eventually be given back to the OS.
The Goroutine descriptor, however, will live forever. We'll reuse it for
new goroutines, but it ne
This is memory allocated as reported by go itself, not by the OS.

Just to note, from a Perl background (learning Go atm so this may not
apply, just trying to indicate it may be "normal"), I think this isn't
necessarily unusual for a process to not free up memory, and it's an OS
limitation (again I may be barking up the wrong tree). Elsewhere (i.e not
Go), I've go

Also, I don't think it's the Stack. If you replace Alloc with HeapAlloc...
it's all there.

Correct... the example using time.Sleep didn't run on the playground. The
original post I made, I provided the link with just a goroutine with an
empty function.
At least you were able to reproduce what I'm inquiring about. I'll look
further into this, but surely unused and finished goroutine
What do you mean by "It won't work on the playground"? It runs for me.
Are you saying you get different results when running locally? If so, what
version of go are you running locally, on what platform, and what do you
see?
Or are you saying the problem is really with something like this?

Sorry, for clarification... the above should be, if you 'put something like
time.Sleep(time.Second * 1) *in the go routine*...'
