Thanks, I hadn't yet heard of Fuchsia.

More info for any others who are interested:

I’d heard of it but didn’t know it was open source.

Is Fuchsia in a state where you can boot it in a VM?

Wikipedia mentioned how to develop applications for it with Dart. Did anyone try developing applications for it?

In a talk [1] by Sam Altman I saw on the YC channel on YouTube, Sam said that an advantage that startups have over big corp is that the latter are not able to “turn their battleship around” as fast, developing software for new platforms. Hmmm... (pondering).

One of the writers at ARS got it to work: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/01/googles-fuchsia-os-o...

I've not seen it in a VM (and I am not a low level hacker) but the getting started docs outline the build process so it would assume it's doable...
