Golang, .Net, and BEM all use preemptive scheduling IIRC. Don't know the specifics of each implementation, but you can use timers to signal the process and "wake" the scheduler.

Beam uses reduction, basically instructions count. I believe native functions can still lock up a scheduler (and must provide an estimate of their icount) which is one of the reasons why they’re tricky.
