Google Fuchsia OS team affected by layoffs

Hmm, Fushcia builds a whole new kernel in a different paradigm and then a userspace upon that. Android was built upon an existing and mature kernel. It doesn’t surprise me that Fushcia takes longer.

Andreas Kling develops Serenity OS, a new from scratch open source OS and kernel in C++, what does Android have to do with it?

For this to mean anything, you will have to make the claim that Fuchsia is more similar to Serenity OS than Android or any other full scale OS project. And if it truly is closer to the pet project, then that's not a good sign for a company like Google, who is paying X number of engineers to work on this

Sorry. I assumed that the person you named was responsible for Android, given how that would have been a good comparing target for Fushcia.

It doesn't really. Fuschia is a fairly standard microkernel design written in C++. Their big idea was a sea of internet components but it doesn't seem to have worked out? Where's the eye-catching Xerox PARC style demos of what they spent so many years figuring out?
