Sure, they've been in Forth multitaskers for almost 50 years, as this
article describes:

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef17/genproceedings/papers/haley-slides.pdf

There's some oft-repeated wisdom that as the application gets more
complicated, cooperative multasking runs into more and more problems
(tasks hanging or blocking crash the whole system etc) and preemption
becomes important.  So it's good to support both.
