Here's the story behind Fuchsia told to me by a Google employee:
One day a bunch of senior engineers wanted to quit. Google asked them why and they answered "we're bored." So google asked them "what would you rather work on?" and they replied "write an OS" and so google said "here's more money. do whatever you want."
Fuschia isn't a serious project. It was busy work to keep top employees from leaving for competition. I was also told that no one inside google seems to know or care about Fuchsia. It only ever was used in the smart speaker. And reading through the API and syscall interface its clear no one is serious about writing an real OS.
- rvba 3y agoIf those engineers that Google wants to keep are so good, then why they cant deliver anything? Or do they just game google and will spend years doing nothing
- MisterTea 3y agoWell just because they were good at one thing doesn't mean they are good at another. I'm sure google was initially confident in their assertion but the current state shows that it is a dead end.
