As an embedded dev I think of using it, but it depends. If it comes with any forced Google stuff or telemetry, it is disqualified before it even made an impact.

As an embedded dev I think of using it, but it depends. If it comes with any forced Google stuff or telemetry, it is disqualified before it even made an impact. Talked to other devs and most never even heard of it. This world is always a bit slower and I doubt many will jump ship quickly. The IOT craze seems to lessen a bit in recent years, devices slowly loose their image as being interesting toys. I know that the industry likes to place themselves as an intermediary and later opens their hands. So it would really need to offer much...

As an embedded dev I'll never trust Google to support it long enough to be relevant. I don't care how many Nest units use it. IoT isn't a craze, it's a buzzword. We've been building net-connected units for decades and will do so for decades more. We need a decent small flexible OS/RTOS that's beyond Linux. Zephyr has been a disappointment in this respect.
