I’m not sure I would consider fuschia an example that supports your point.

It’s design largely failed at being a modern generic operating system and it’s become primarily an os used for embedded devices which is an entirely different set of requirements

It’s also not that widely used. There’s only a handful of devices that ship fuschia today. There’s a reason for that.

Don't mistake Google politics with technical achievements.

Did it fail because of its microkernel design?

It’s quite disingenuous to use “success” as a metric when discussing the advantages microkernel vs monolithic, as the only kernels you can safely say have succeeded in the past 30+ years are three: Linux, NT and Mach, one of which is a microkernel (of arguably dated design), and the other is considered a “hybrid microkernel.”

Did L4 fail? What about QNX?

This topic was considered a flame war in the 90s and I guess it still isn’t possible to have a level-headed argument over the pros and cons of each design to this day.

When I read this thread, I think it’s pretty level headed except your last reply lol.
