A comment on Fuchsia, a new operating system.

I consider myself fairly tech savvy, and have done a little programming here and there.

But from the linked page I couldn't figure out where any of the documentation of this "thing" is, nor how to install it, nor what platforms it's for.

Was it just me?

Instructions for getting and building the code are here:

https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/manifest/+/master/README.md

It runs on arm, arm64, and x64.

I tried the Ubuntu instructions on a Debian box but it errors out with:

fuchsia/.jiri_root/tmp/src/v.io/x/lib/cmdline/cmdline.go:236: undefined: os.Unsetenv

I suspect it is because the version of go in the repo is too old, I tried manually installing the newer version but still no joy
