>45 commits landed in the repository so far today

Okay? Is this impressive? Do you think it shows something? Bizarrely whenever people point out how much of a flop Fuchsia is (relative to the hype a decade ago), there is always someone like you citing commit count. Weird.

The vast majority of the commits are tiny commits to change a version number or rename a test. Or to pass some lint tests. I know tiny two man shops that have much more substantial commits each day.

I didn't say it was dead, though did I? Not quite sure what kicked off your bizarre defensive, asshole-ish screed. I specifically said that it most likely will be a tiny runtime for VM processes in Android.

But Fuchsia, announced A DECADE AGO, remains utterly irrelevant, aside from a couple of poorly received, dogshit Nest devices. And we know that Google massively downsized the team and basically moved on, and from people I've talked to it is now basically a make work project.

Yeah, the chances that Fuchsia powers this device is 0.0000%. I hugely doubt it even appears on the device at all.

So the dream, as constantly restated on here, is pretty clearly absolutely dead.

7/25 on the merged page at time of writing are L/XL in size. Again I can't validate your claims against reality.
Nothing asshole-ish about the grandparent comment, but everything asshole-ish about yours. Tone it down.
>Nothing asshole-ish about the grandparent comment

Irony. They wrongly did to me what I could have as easily done to you (anyone speculating that this runs Fuchsia is living in a cave and is probably leaving worthless comments to pretend they're participating), but I'm not obnoxious so I didn't and actually engaged in good faith. But having you stomping in and calling me an asshole in this case, then telling me to "tone it down"...Good god, hilarious stuff.
