Those 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

Except a ca. 2020 smart speaker, apparently.

  Perhaps an early sign that the speakers aren't going to be around in the future

The 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"...

  This story’s carrying a beautiful irony about tech giants that seems to be lost on FAANG‘s entirely.

    Only Google has this bad execution. The other MANGAs are pretty good at it.

      Far as I remember, all of them engage in some ridiculous wheel handcarving projects. Just because Google does it badly doesn't mean the others are more reasonable in catering to their NIH syndrome.

  It can run on few devices like - Acer Switch Alpha 12 - Intel NUC - Google Pixelbook Its build by Google so im not sure it will get mainstream or just killed. But calling it "nothing OS" is big understatement, When was the last time a new OS from scratch was created? or if we comparing it to linux/Windows/Mac Im sure a lot people work on these https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/refs/changes/56/101356/4/fuchsia_paver.md#:~:text=Fuchsia%20has%20good%20support%20for,compatible%20with%20ARM%2Dbased%20targets https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/docs/+/refs/changes/56/1013....

      He probably meant "usable OS fit for mass market adoption". Of course one person can develop a bare bones OS, but this will be missing so many things compared to established systems, while providing too few advantages, that any wide adoption is impossible. Even Microsoft, with well over a thousand (IIRC) Windows developers, had to scale back their Longhorn plans substantially.

  Was it supposed to be "a smart speaker OS"? Does not this "nothing OS" already run on Nest Hub? Why do you post such vague claims that are not even correct?
