Google's willingness to drop their projects really gives me no confidence as a potential developer.
What happened to Brillo? Why start a new project with a new name instead of just making Brillo 2.0? Should I invest anything in this or will they just drop it again?
- Navarr 10y agoFrom what I understand, this _is_ Brillo. Just rebranded with some upgrades (e.g. "Brillo 2.0")
- ddeck 10y agoYep. From the article: It combines Google’s earlier efforts around Brillo (which was also Android-based, but never saw any major uptake from developers) with its Android developer tools like Android Studio, the Android SDK, Google Play Services and Google’s cloud computing services. Support for Weave, Google’s IoT communications platform that (together with Brillo) makes up Google’s answer to Apple’s HomeKit, is on the roadmap and will come in a later developer preview
- pjmlp 10y agoNot just rebranded, they dropped the plan of having the frameworks redone in C++ as discussed at Embedded Linux talks, and took the Java ones from Android instead.
