The project seemed super bloated. I remember thay had at least one person who seemed to be working full time on a clone of vim which iirc was considered part of the OS.
- LargeTomato 3y agoThat is a very googley, very stupid thing to do.
- skavi 3y agoYou’re referring to Raph Levien’s work on Xi [0]. Not really just a vim clone. In Fuchsia, iirc, it would have been the basis of all text editing services. If nothing else, it seems to have popularized rope data structures [1] for newer text editors.

- Gigachad 3y agoNo doubt the project generated some interesting research and was pushing the boundaries, but its an explanation as to how a smart speaker OS could take 400 developers.
- akmittal 3y agoThose who think fucsia is just a smart speaker OS does not understand the full picture. It's research on a future OS which can run anywhere
- aaronbrethorst 3y agoExcept a ca. 2020 smart speaker, apparently.
- politelemon 3y agoPerhaps an early sign that the speakers aren't going to be around in the future
- caskstrength 3y agoThe full picture is apparently that after years of full time work by 400-person team Fuchsia is more like "nothing OS" instead of "a smart speaker OS"...
- 9dev 3y agoThis story’s carrying a beautiful irony about tech giants that seems to be lost on FAANG‘s entirely.

- dehrmann 3y agoThat name's DoA for political reasons. Remember the time we tried to name a covid flavor that?
