- markus_zhang 2y agoLooks like a whole new OS to find exploitation for. Interesting.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoI find it interesting how Huawei was able to make a nearly brand new microkernel operating system in a short amount of time, meanwhile Google with Fuchsia... Despite it being Huawei, I am interested to see how well the OS plans out.
- pjmlp 2y agoThat is a good example of how politics are much more relevant than technical achivements, and anyone that dispels technology based on failure to gather mainstream adoption is lacking the whole picture.
- rfoo 2y agoHonestly, I think Fuchsia was fine, there's just no reason to deploy it yet.
- grishka 2y agoDidn't Google deploy it to some of its smart speaker devices a while ago tho?
- pjmlp 2y agoYes, https://9to5google.com/2024/03/01/fuchsia-16-nest-hub-whats-new/ https://9to5google.com/2024/03/01/fuchsia-16-nest-hub-whats-... However it is quite clear by now, this is the best Fuschia will ever get, and it is mostly a top level software engineer retention program.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoIt's a shame because Fuchsia would go a long way to solve the Android update mess that's partially caused by how Linux does drivers/kernels for ARM and that Android was never made to have generic updates like desktop operating systems, much of the design stemming from the embedded world it was originally made for.
- rfoo 2y agoTime to... (check notes)... break up Google and somehow sanction Google so they themselves can't use Android anymore and you get Fuchsia on the Pixel line. That's how you push alternative OS thesedays.
- scrlk 2y agoFuchsia was a success for its developers: they created something new and shiny at Google, which would allow them to receive their promotion. HarmonyOS NEXT is probably a lot more existential for Huawei.
- RicoElectrico 2y agoCertainly Fuchsia failed on the brand front with so many people misspelling it as Fuscia (:
- kyleee 2y agoThat should have been obvious from the get go, no chance most people are going to spell that correctly
- ChocolateGod 2y agoIt's more of an internal name like Darwin/XNU is for Apple. They could of just made it a new version of Android.

- tribaal 2y agoHuawei is very present at EuroRust and seem to look for a lot of people to hire. I guess it makes sense, I was curious why they would want people to work on e.g. Servo since Firefox is already available on Android... now I know :) Their team there made a pretty good impression for the record, they were knowledgeable and pitched their projects quite well (several of them quite interesting).
- shrubble 2y agoI wouldn’t be surprised to find out that L4 kernel was an inspiration.
