This is fixed in Kernel 5.4, and some distros backported the fix to 5.3.

I'm using Debian stable, with a kernel from buster-backports, and I can see the temperature for my CPU (Ryzen 7) and the GPU (Radeon RX 580).

Kotlin uses `.await()`.

Years ago PHP was the king of web development, and it was pretty awful in many ways (today is much better, though).

People usually choice languages because of convenience, not because of how good they are.

You said [Scala] it's by far one of the language I hated the most. If you don't want to start a flame-war maybe you should change the tone of the comment.

There is https://github.com/scala/scala-async, which is already implemented as a macro, though it is a bit limited

go-style csp is just async/await hidden in the syntax.

> Come back in two years, show us how the types feel after the honeymoon is over.

I have been programming for more than 20 years, with a lot of different languages.

Until six years ago, most of my languages were on dinamic typing (PHP, Bash, Perl5, Python, Ruby, ...). I used C sometimes, but it was not the common case.

Then, 6 years ago, a friend show me Scala. I was lucky because I could use it in my daily job. Two years ago I started to use Rust for some stuff.

That said, after years using languages with good type systems, I can say dealing with a dinamic type system in a big project is a huge PITA. Almost every time I have to deal with legacy code (mostly Ruby) I really miss both Scala and Rust.

The honeymoon is over for me, and now I'm in a very stable and wonderful relationship :P
