Android Police takesa look at a new OS from Google. "Enter "Fuchsia." Google's owndescription for it on the project's GitHub page is simply, "Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System)". Not very revealing, is it? When you begin to dig deeper into Fuchsia's documentation, everything starts to make a little more sense.First, there's the Magentakernel based on the 'LittleKernel' project. Justlike with Linux and Android, the Magenta kernel powers the larger Fuchsiaoperating system. Magenta is being designed as a competitor to commercialembedded OSes, such as FreeRTOS orThreadX." Fuchsiaalso uses the Flutter user interface, theDart programming language, andEscher, "a renderer that supports light diffusion, soft shadows, andother visual effects, with OpenGL or Vulkan under the hood".
