Interesting, at least when I was using it the goroutines themselves were cooperative, and of course the OS threads were preemptive when GO_MAXPROCS > 1. Not finding much with a search, there was a proposal to make them preemptive. Curious if others will chime in that it's now preemptive. Even so I like Elixir better as a language, but the processing speed of Go with a preemptive scheduler would be tempting for some use cases.
