@Linux PHP has no features for hardware, that's the problem.

@Linux Bonescript is the only lib for the Beagle Bone Black.

@AlexDeLarge I want a simple way to halt execution without the callback hell that is setTimeout.
-
@AlexDeLarge Yeah, but Bonescript doesn't have sync :/
For example making an LED turn on and off two seconds later already requires a callback. Less than ideal. -
@PrivateGER if there weren't callbacks then blinking a led was the ONLY thing you could be able to do. Without callbacks (or promise, or await) you couldn't be able to say "ok, blink that led and do something other in the while", because the blinking led would block the remaining code. So maybe, in some other language, you should start a new thread

@crisz Nothing else is SUPPOSED to happen. I want only the LED to blink, nothing else.
PHP is my main language, but I haven't had a single problem with it yet.
Nodejs it is.
How can you possibly make it SO GODDAMN HARD to just implement ANYTHING synchronous. THERE ARE REALLY FUCKING GOOD REASONS YOU *WANT* YOUR CODE TO STOP EXECUTION WHILE DOING SOMETHING
EVER HEARD OF HARDWARE PROGRAMMING? YEAH, APPARENTLY NOT
GRAAAAH
