There have been huge surprises recently about Google working on and developing a brand-new operating system (OS), and it is called Fuchsia. One question comes to mind: will this be the next super-OS that would eventually replace the Android OS and Chrome OS?
Fuchsia is proposed to be open sourced, which means that developers will be free to inspect upon the code, request changes, and report bugs. There are many possibilities and it is hard to tell at this point if Google plans on promoting it as a major change for the company to replace Android, but there is a chance that the universally known technology and internet company would commit to it someday.
Fuchsia is quite popular and strikes curiosity among computer professionals because it is going to be distinctive from Google's other operating systems, in the fact that it will not be kernel-based. This means that Fuchsia will be able to run on virtually any technological device, including computers, phones, and others, according to the International Business Times.
Reports also implicate that it is a possibility that Google will use Fuchsia as a more lightweight OS for simpler devices like OnHub routers and Google Home. The OS is quite experimental especially in the modern times where technological developments and innovations are fast-paced.
The initial discovery of this OS was the time when it surfaced on Google's GitHub page, with not much details given except that they were working on developing a new operating system. The OS is said to be written in Google's own programming language, Dart, according to Engadget.
There are no further details regarding the new OS's specifications and release dates, so it will not be officially released anytime soon and people will have to wait and use Android for the meantime. This is part of the thrill, because Google might surprise us with its plans, and these plans may be much larger than what our current knowledge dictates.
Below is a video of a demonstration of one of Google's other operating systems, Chrome OS, which is also open source and built in a much simpler manner for faster speeds.
