Fuchsia Workstation
I'm not sure people realize just how much money Google has thus far sunk into Fuchsia for (AFAICT) very little in return. It was in the billions... years ago.I don't know if this is still the case but the mission was absolutely to replace Android. Many at Google believe Android to be unsalvageable on two fronts: drivers and the general ecosystem.It has been pitched internally at various products and (AFAIK) only found traction thus far on Nest hubs. It was heavily pushed for Chromecast but I guess nothing came of that.I'm not an OS expert by any means but I am unconvinced about the viability of a microkernel architecture beyond theory. Security is an often-cited issue with context switching between user and kernel space.
