Fuchsia Is Not an Experiment, Its Coming in 2020

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Fuchsia has a dual purpose: it's both a candidate to replace ChromeOS and Android while at the same time being a practical research project from which learnings could be implemented in Android. Does anyone else remember Microsoft's Midori project (early/mid 2000s) which sought to make a kernel and minimalist operating system in C#? While nothing was made from that product-wise the researchers did crack how to do fast, efficient inter-process communication in a microkernel operating system and those lessons -- along with many others -- have been applied to what is now Windows 10, and I would say to great success. When's the last time you've seen a Windows 10 machine blue-screen? I'm pretty sure device drivers are no longer loaded in kernel space which is why it's so rare to see Windows 10 crash they way its predecessors did.

Look at what Google has done with Android in Q: a lot of core services from AOSP have been migrated to GMS-like packages which can be updated over time making it possible to effectively update Android without the core OS needing to be upgraded (it's like compatibility libraries but on steroids).

And with Flutter the bet for the future is hedged as Flutter was long ago cited to be THE framework for developing Fuchsia applications... whenever Fuchsia ships. In the mean time, write your apps and use them on Android, iOS, web (and possibly desktop soon as well?).

And like the other commenter said: the opening of this article was massively unprofessional. People can disagree but pejorative comments don't make your point.

This article is made worse by the opening hostilities.
