Google Fuchsia: Unexpected news from Google that is reportedly developing a completely new operating system. Yes, not just an upgrade to Android or Chrome OS, but a new system not based on the Linux kernel.
It's called Fuschia or Fuchsia and although Google has not officially announced anything about the operating system, details have been released on GitHub with the enigmatic description "Pink + Purple = Fuchsia (a new operating system)" or in English "Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System). ”
The Android Police that searched deeper in the documentation found some interesting information. First of all, the operating system uses a new one Magenta core, designed to compete functionally with IoT orientation such as FreeRTOS or ThreadX. The difference here is that Magenta seems to be designed to work from smartphones up to desktop computers.
Meanwhile, Dart is used as the main programming and support language, and Flutter indicates that the operating system will likely use Material Design like a user interface.
This does not necessarily mean that Google has plans to make Fuchsia available beyond IoT devices. Maybe he just wants a lighter operating system that can run on any future hardware products. Nevertheless, the possibility of universal adoption remains exciting, especially as the line between Android and ChromeOS becomes increasingly blurred.
As for why Google hasn't said anything about the OS until now: Brian Swetland – a senior Google engineer who has worked on Android and the OS T-Mobile Sidekick – states that the decision made is about construction ενός open source λειτουργικού συστήματος από το μηδέν, πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι ορισμένες λεπτομέρειες δεν έχουν οριστικοποιηθεί ακόμη.
Τελικά τα πράγματα θα πρέπει να δημοσιοποιούνται τεκμηριωμένα, ανέφερε ο Christopher Lane, ένας άλλος μηχανικός της Google. Μέχρι τότε, μπορούμε να κάνουμε μόνο εικασίες.
