- kmeisthax 3y agoThe weird thing about Fuchsia is that it's been public for at least eight years. In that time Google has gone through several messaging apps - like, launched them, got bored with them, launched a successor, and killed the original, multiple times over. All for an OS they only shipped on one weird voice-assistant-with-a-screen appliance.
