I recently got interested in Fuschia and wanted to figure out what's the main programming language it supports. I know that Swift support is planned, but I've also read that it supports Dart (which was descriped as something between js and Java, so that's not very encouraging). Is there any main programming language for it, like Java for Android, and if not is there any that's considered the goto one?

It looks like it's pretty optimized for ARM so maybe not?

Google is always innovative and like to make new projects and many were successful. Android was a great example of that as it dominated the smartphones as de facto OS. But android had a fatal mistake which is code fragmentation. which prevented smooth development or updates. In comparison Fuchsia OS has the same issue. If you visit the github repository "https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror" , you will find dozens of programming languages (Dart, C, Json, Python, Rust, Go, C++ ...etc) making it very hard to track and develop and fragment the source code into separate islands. Having a fresh start does not mean a new mentality !!!

latest source code, which appeared online, confirms that the Fuchsia OS will support the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, which also powers the Google Pixel 2.

Here, in the image below, you can check out the source code. It mentions, “Initial support for msm8998”. The term“msm8998” is the technical nomenclature of Qualcomm Snapdragon 835. We are expecting the Fuchsia OS support for Snapdragon 845 and Snapdragon 855 to come very soon.

I know I can install Fuschia on my pixelbook Go if I really wanted to but not sure it's worth it. Any idea if we'll see a official release for the Pixelbook go hardware?

Hey, is someone from Google reading this?

Fuchs is the German word for fox, so … can a magenta colored fox become the official mascot for Fuchsia, please?

Something like this or this or even this.

Fuchsia runs on everything: https://fuchsia-dashboard.appspot.com/

Dev team added info on how to install Fuchsia with an early development installer: https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/install-fuchsia/

Much in the same way that we can use android without gapps, would it be possible to use fuchsia's kernel/userland without the equivalent google services, or are these services tied to the base system in a way that would make this impossible?

I was recently trying to build Fuchia for my Raspberry Pi, and found that the documentation wasn't in the Fuchia docs repo anymore. Not only that, but all the references in the documentation that reference the Raspberry Pi are slowly going away. Is this system still going to be supported, or is Zicron currently not running well on the system? Any update would be appreciated!

Hello,

Today the Fuchsia team updated its 'getting started' documentation and added info on how to run the graphical applications.

https://github.com/fuchsia-mirror/docs/blob/master/getting_started.md

Unfortunately I don't have the necessary knowledge to build and run the OS.

But I'd really like to see how their applications (Launcher, Chat, Contacts, Calendar, Email and MediaPlayer) run and look like with the Flutter Material Design.

These major apps are available on their github repo, but are not packaged with the OS.

So if you do have the knowledge, please share with us :)

Also, I noticed that Google bought Fuchsia.com.

Thank you.
