45 commits landed in the repository so far today, it's mid way through the work day in the valley. https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/q/status:merged

Zircon is still under development with recent RFC's extending the memory synchronization and attribution model for processes.

There was also more extension added to one of the key disk formats in March which has an eye to more flexible long term evolution and adaptation to particular device form factors.

The publicly available evidence does nothing to support your claims, entirely the opposite.

I used to work on Fuchsia, I have not for many years now and have no idea what their current roadmap looks like, but I do know where to actually look up what's been done recently, which is all public and you could do as well.

Anyway I have no idea if this has any fuchsia code in it.

Okay? Is this impressive? Do you think it shows something? Bizarrely whenever people point out how much of a flop Fuchsia is (relative to the hype a decade ago), there is always someone like you citing commit count. Weird.

The vast majority of the commits are tiny commits to change a version number or rename a test. Or to pass some lint tests. I know tiny two man shops that have much more substantial commits each day.

I didn't say it was dead, though did I? Not quite sure what kicked off your bizarre defensive, asshole-ish screed. I specifically said that it most likely will be a tiny runtime for VM processes in Android.

But Fuchsia, announced A DECADE AGO, remains utterly irrelevant, aside from a couple of poorly received, dogshit Nest devices. And we know that Google massively downsized the team and basically moved on, and from people I've talked to it is now basically a make work project.

Yeah, the chances that Fuchsia powers this device is 0.0000%. I hugely doubt it even appears on the device at all.

So the dream, as constantly restated on here, is pretty clearly absolutely dead.

7/25 on the merged page at time of writing are L/XL in size. Again I can't validate your claims against reality.

Nothing asshole-ish about the grandparent comment, but everything asshole-ish about yours. Tone it down.

>Nothing asshole-ish about the grandparent comment

Irony. They wrongly did to me what I could have as easily done to you (anyone speculating that this runs Fuchsia is living in a cave and is probably leaving worthless comments to pretend they're participating), but I'm not obnoxious so I didn't and actually engaged in good faith. But having you stomping in and calling me an asshole in this case, then telling me to "tone it down"...Good god, hilarious stuff.
