Fuchsia is not Linux
To people which don&#x27;t understand the overall decision to create another system, I&#x27;ll talk about at least one benefit to create a system that is not Linux: make software more simple and efficient. Do you really think that Linux is so great? Linux is a bloat system [1], POSIX is not so great as well (do you really read the WHOLE POSIX spec?).<p>It&#x27;s important standards, it&#x27;s important sometimes (SOMETIMES) compatibility. But not all this stuff defined in POSIX it&#x27;s important. POSIX sucks sometimes [2], only GNU can be worse about being bloated [3].<p>Only users which don&#x27;t touch in code can think that Linux, POSIX and GNU are entities following principles based in simplicity. Linux following Unix guidelines? This only can be a joke of Linus.<p>Creating custom software, maintaining and other stuff on things THAT YOU DON&#x27;T UNDERSTAND has a massive cost. As well, the cost to understand complex things, it&#x27;s even worse.<p>Sometimes it&#x27;s even more simple re-inventing the wheel than understand why a wheel was build with a fractal design [4].<p>[1] Linux LOC overtime <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linuxcounter.net&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;kernel" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linuxcounter.net&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;kernel</a><p>[2] POSIX has become outdated <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.columbia.edu&#x2F;~vatlidak&#x2F;resources&#x2F;POSIXmagazine.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.columbia.edu&#x2F;~vatlidak&#x2F;resources&#x2F;POSIXmagazine...</a><p>[3] Code inflation about &#x2F;usr&#x2F;bin&#x2F;true <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pdfs.semanticscholar.org&#x2F;a417&#x2F;055105f9b3486c2ae7aec22a7dbd57e1ba3c.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pdfs.semanticscholar.org&#x2F;a417&#x2F;055105f9b3486c2ae7aec2...</a><p>[4] The Linux Programming Interface <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.lagout.org&#x2F;programmation&#x2F;unix&#x2F;The Linux Programming Interface.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doc.lagout.org&#x2F;programmation&#x2F;unix&#x2F;The Linux Prog...</a> (that cover of book has a reason and yes: it is what you think)
