Fuchsia


Google is working on launching a new OS for anything that could fit under Google’s tech umbrella starting from smart phones, smart speakers to laptops and IoT devices.

It’s an attempt to get entire Google’s ecosphere under one operating system.

 

Few points I came to know while reading about this:

  • Android was built before iPhone was release. Android was built for the use in Digital cameras later due to iPhone launch it was repurposed.
  • Flutter SDK (with Dart programming language) can be used for building apps for new OS as well along with iOS, Android and desktop.
  • Its following micro kernel approach.
  • Its built-on top of Zircon micro kernel. (read this & above link if you want to recollect some names from Operating System subject in Bachelor’s)
  • Microsoft has tried building another operating system called Sigularity.
