Google Fuchsia- Is Android going to be dead?

Google Fuchsia- Is Android going to be dead?

If you follow technology news then you must be aware of an upcoming secret Google project known as Fuchsia, Basically it is an "initial stage experimental project" within Google. Google is working on it from starting in 2007 as an open source project, which means anyone can see source code and install software on different devices.

Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System)- In words of Google Fuchsia is a new operating system which is capable to handle all IOT (Internet of things) devices having some sort of AI (Artificial intelligence).But there is very less information exist in the public domains about why this project is being developed and what are the short coming of android which this is going to supplement. There are lots of articles on this topic, but none provides a concrete answer to the question that Google is going to stop the android program or both will run side by side.

The most relevant conclusion, we can draw from these articles is that Fuchsia is integrated replacement of both project Chrome OS and Google Android. It will provide a controlled framework which will spread over mobile, laptops, intelligent devices and all other IOT devices. The Fuchsia is based on Google owns a custom foundation “Zircon" kernel (formerly "Magenta") not on Linux kernel on which Android and Chrome OS is based. In Google everything is possible and the company knows four different, experimenting in the past also, so we can expect a lot from the new project.

Mechanics of Fuchsia- 

The user interface and apps of Fuchsia's are written with "Flutter", which is a software development kit. It provides new abilities such as cross-platform development for Fuchsia, Android and iOS. . Flutter also offers a Vulkan-based graphics rendering engine called "Escher", with specific support for "Volumetric soft shadows". If we go deep then Flutter apps have base of Dart. Dart provide ability to run apps at 120 frames per second.

1- Android and Chrome OS are large-scale brands, ecosystems -

Any operating system does not flourish in one day, it takes time to develop as Android take 10 years from inception to be adopted globally. The technology is always on development stage, now we feel the devices having artificial intelligence is not fit for Android devices. It is also important in education, accounting for 60% of all education-based device shipments in the US in the past year (compared to 22% for Windows and 17% combined with MacOS and iOS).

These are not disposable brands or ecosystems, in other words - away from it Included investment and acquaintance are very high and do not easily replicate. Even Google is increasingly focusing on the concept of "Google" as a unified thread between its products, Android and Chrome OS are much more - for Google and other related players. And when Google has a history of making enigmatic Pitts, it's hard to imagine the idea of ​​working hard as an Android and Chrome OS dumping. On any operating system many manufacturers around the world are heavily invested in both brands, in the meantime - and even in a big picture and long-term sense, there are many developer involve in Google development as all things are based on open sources code project.

2. Google is only enhancing its commitment to both platforms late

Google is in the mood now to bring full support for the Linux application in enhanced mode, allowing developers to run cross-platform coding tools on a large scale and encourages them to create Android apps optimized for regular Android devices as well as Chrome books. The company has added the Chrome OS emulator in its Android studio development tool to pursue that goal and encouraged the developers to work with Chrome books. As per current situation Fuchsia devices can be shown soon at the beginning of next year, Google Android and Chrome OS will be here to stay along with Fuchsia This will not be the normal OS version update; It will be broad steps like running and alignment of the Chrome OS - something that is being dedicated to resources - and pushing developers together to embrace two-one models.

Google will try to restore the Android core and enhance the feature in Fuchsia, otherwise  it will difficult to manufacture to adopt that system. If the development will not be synchronous then the developer may completely boycott the android and trust factor among people about, Google will reduce to low level. So Google cannot take that risk to completely change the operating system.

There is a public presentation. In this year's I / O program, the Android operating system of the main note kicked off with a detailed video that told Android as "the most popular mobile operating system in the world". The introduction introduced around the subject of Android was revealed and ended with the quotation presented on the screen and read aloud: If you believe in openness, if you believe in choice, if you all believe in innovation, then welcome to Android. Soon after, Android Engineering VP Dave Burke took the stage and talked about Google's original goal with Android: "To create a mobile platform that was open and open to everyone" - "And today," he said Going forward, "That idea is moving." Again, it is difficult to combine this kind of excited and prominently presented presentation with the notion that it is a platform on the verge of sacrifice. There is nothing to add about it.

3. Focus in context: one more possibility

If we think Fuchsia and its possible effects, we must give weight age to Google's reference and the trend of "exploration" and "experiment”. For many years, we have been hearing the Google was "merging" Android and Chrome OS. In fact the Google is working on alignment of two platforms, which we are still shaping. Recently, rumors revolve around some things called Andromeda - an internal Google project that will bring Android and Chrome OS to the same new platform, designed to run on all types of devices. But nothing concrete came to public it means that Google has internally searched and experimented with some concepts, but eventually ended up pivoting in different directions.

In the real world things are not always black and white

Speaking about pivoting, while addressing a question about Fuchsia during a session in the last year's I / O program, Burke made an interesting comment: "Like the initial phase projects, it may be Pivot and Morf Will happen."So maybe with Fuciana, a more prevalent implementation can also eliminate the surface - in which some ideas and progress are used, but this is done in such a way that does not replace Android or Chrome OS , Because the present tale implies. Probably Fuchsia has finally retained the identity of the original outer side after becoming a new underlying structure for one or both platforms.

On twitter, Fusia Engineering Director Chris McLoop once casually noted that "pink" was a reference to the Taligent Project - Apple failed to make efforts to convert Mac OS with a new option in the 90s. Pink was to be a completely new object-oriented OS implemented in C ++ at the top of a new microcoron, yet it was running a new GUI [Graphical User Interface] that looked like an existing Mac and felt. 

Google's open-source repository for Fuchsia includes a small portion of the text that looks almost like a puzzle: "Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new operating system)" Apart from running programs written in pink, the system had to be able to run existing Mac OS programs. For "purple", there is no need to get too much stretch to imagine that this project is a reference to purple, codename for the original Apple iPhone. McLoop himself was a member of the team that used to work with that device, and the above Twitter conversation was with an engineer who had worked at Apple during the same period. In the thread, the engineer asked McLeop that "Purple + purple" we know in "purple + purple" - on which McLeop answered "yes."The slogan posted within Google's Fuchsia code repository attempts to replace an important smartphone product and replace the existing OS with another modern one. It seems to be somewhat important to basically look and feel and support the same set of applications.
