Oh, yes, this is a very carefully thought out project and I love it. I have a hard time trusting Google, but this is clearly the result of some very straightforward, competent, well-directed thinking, and I hope it succeeds.

What type of device would you use this in?

  Medical devices. There isn't a lot of FOSS RTOS/micro kernels in the field.

  This architecture sounds like one I would want to use for all of my personal computing devices. I believe this because I did a bunch of experimental hacking three years ago with the objective of designing an operating system with usability and security characteristics that would suit me better than Linux or Android currently do. I didn't make a huge amount of progress toward a working system (you can see what I did here: https://github.com/marssaxman/fleet https://github.com/marssaxman/fleet), but I spent a lot of time reading and thinking as I tinkered. The people working on Fuchsia have clearly thought deeply in similar directions, gone a lot further in the work, and resolved a lot of the uncertainties I encountered. I won't let Google manage my data for me, but if they can keep their fingers out of the pie I would gladly use a Fuchsia-based system as described here for my laptop, phone, and home desktop.

Well your instinct isn't wrong. The whole organization is a joke when it comes to security. There's a very good chance that they're a couple of clicks away from your online activity (who knows, it might even be realtime, imagine your ex, who works at google, reading all your online conversations.) I wouldn't trust those bastards with my enemy's life, cos I'm sure they're gonna use it show me 'personalized and relevant' ads.
