Actually I think the original vision was to get rid of the Linux Kernel in Android and have everything 'googled'.
They wanted to go full vertical but then not sure why it was downsized to more embedded targets.

- sakras 4y agoI always imagined Fuchsia as a server OS, not a replacement for Linux on Android. Wouldn't their KataOS/Sparrow project be more relevant to Android?
- DaedPsyker 4y agoFuchsia was announced around the time of the Google Vs Oracle case if I remember correctly. They said it had been in development for years but I guess the assumption of the public announcement was that it was directed at oracle.

- junon 4y agoThe kernel, Zircon, was a pet project of the original dev later brought on to a Google team, if I remember my conversation with him correctly.
