I’m not sure most other languages such as Kotlin implementing coroutines/green threads would be able to support it in the same robust way though. Pre-emptive scheduling means that the runtime will actively stop a resource hungry routine, so that other routines can have a turn. If a goroutine or Kotlin coroutine is spinning in a tight loop, it may just spin forever if it doesn’t do a syscall or whatever the runtime uses to check in and say, hey, do any other processes need time?
