Fuchsia, like Waymo, is never going to take off. It's been half a decade and they still haven't shipped.

They've shipped it on some Nest Hubs already. In fact, it's pretty nifty that their update system allows them to replace the OS completely from a Linux-based OS to A Fuchsia OS.

Nest Hubs run Fuschia.

Hope you are right, but half a decade doesn't seem long for an OS?

> Fuchsia, like Waymo, is never going to take off It is already running on a Nest Hub today. So it is already shipped. Given that they have Chrome [0] already running on it, I think you know what Google will also be replacing. Fuchsia seems that it will go beyond running on Nest Hubs in the future.

5 years is fine for such a project. It will 'take off' if it finds a practical use case. If they start making Androids based on this, it will 'take off'. If Tesla, Ford, Volskwagen use it in their cars, it will 'take off'. etc.. I don't have nearly enough insight to know one way or another, but G is a big company and if they want to do something they will. My point is, the 5 years and no traction isn't necessarily indicative of that much.

That's...not terribly long for a new OS intended for consumer products? This isn't like ChromeOS or Android where it's building on top of Linux, it's practically all-new, at least as I understand it. And they actually did ship on one class of Nest devices recently. It's a limited use case, but that's expected for the first product release.

Android took half a decade to ship anything.

What makes you think Waymo won't 'take off'? It seems to be doing fine in its test markets.

  They just need to put quadcopter blades on the cars. Then they will take off and even fly themselves to destination. Sounds pretty neat, doesn't it.
