This is the Go behaviour, as demonstratd by the following program:

---- 8< ----
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

func work(w int) {
	for i := 0; ; i++ {
		fmt.Printf("w%d: %d\n", w, i)
		time.Sleep(1*time.Second)
	}
}

func main() {
	for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
		go work(i)
	}

	time.Sleep(3*time.Second)
	println("main: exit")
}
---- 8< ----
