I'm a little sad that there aren't any comments describing what is technically novel around Fuchsia and why it is/why it isn't interesting from an OS design standpoint.

I get the sense that its advances are probably too low-level for most app developers to care, but that's kind of precisely why I'd love a comment elucidating them a bit.

Edit: For example, the Fuchsia docs list the primary talking points as secure, updatable, inclusive, and pragmatic. How well does it live up to those principles? Will they bring practical benefits? What's exciting/new about what's being done here?

https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/concepts has an overview and links deeper into the site for more detailed information.
Fuchsia is a capability OS. I think that's enough to interest anyone interested in secure OS.
