@sljux I really mean "I copied from Haskell wiki," but i think it was Eratosthenes sieve.

@sljux Rewrote it in rust, but still took 8 GB RAM at 2 billion something.

@devios1 not necessarily. If it's using only 1 core, this might happen. Besides, there might be a bottle neck somewhere.
Even though, the sieve is not so good algorithm for multithreading.
Not a specifically dev related story, but absolutely rant worthy.
Today I was working from home, and my wife ...
Made a program to list primes until stopped. I got to about 2 billion when it took 8 GB of RAM and I more or less had to stopped it.
Only took 10% of CPU though.
