Not so long ago, we told you that Google Corporation without excessive noise and pomposity began developing a new operating system called Fuchsia. The main difference of this OS from the same Android is the fact that it is based not on the Linux kernel, but on LittleKernel, and is sharpened first of all for working on devices with very limited resources. The first fragments of the operating system code were found on the GitHub portal, and already now Fuchsia can be downloaded in its entirety from or with absolutely free.
According to the developers of the new operating system, today it feels great on the compact NUC (Next Unit of Computing) platforms, for example, Broadwell, Skylake and Acer Switch Alpha 12. Even though they have not been written yet all drivers for comfortable OS operation on the listed platforms. In the near future, it is planned to add support for the Raspberry Pi 3 platform and other similar solutions. The main programming language for the new system is Dart, created by Google programmers in 2011 as an alternative to "having fundamental flaws" of JavaScript.
The Internet is a fierce debate on the scope of the new operating system. Some are sure that it is the successor to Android and Chrome OS, while others insist that this decision is imprisoned for work with the "Internet of things". A few words about the name of the system. Fuchsia is a small evergreen shrub of the Cyprid family with very beautiful flowers. Little Kernel, on which Fuchsia is based, is a tiny operating system (weighs this core of only 15-20 kilobytes) for small devices. Also in "Fuchsia" is used Magenta - the system is already for more productive gadgets and personal computers. Fuchsia is a kind of hybrid, assembled from two different operating systems. Therefore, it causes so many questions.
