I like the part just above that: I think there’s a small chance that everything that Fuchsia has done ends up being inside the Linux kernel. They’re trying! They’re actually doing things now, which is great. That would be an awesome outcome, because it’s really about the features we were trying to build. I’m not a big believer in NIH [not invented here] or that kind of thinking, but I do feel people become complacent. Linux had “won,” and so it was very easy to be complacent. When you have new things come along and show that new ideas are possible, then other people adopt those new ideas. I think that’s awesome. That’s always a possibility. I think the problem with Fuchsia is that it is just too much of a Google-only project. Samsung has basically only contributed F2FS, and that is presumably so that they can sell their flash hardware to Google. Other than that, few, if any, major companies are hacking on Fuchsia. Compared to dozens on Linux. One of Linux's biggest strengths is that it has been a big tent that balances the needs of different vendors (who are often in competition) in a mostly fair manner. |
