Google is reportedly working on a new operating system it codenamed “Fuchsia” on the project’s Git repository. Some of the oldest comments read “pink + purple = fuchsia (a new operating system).” The Verge speculates that looking at the focus on lightweight code, Fuchsia could be a cross-platform operating system that unifies the Android and ChromeOS ecosystems. Another theory holds that the OS could drive the company’s routers and IoT devices. The OS is based on Magenta, a heavily stripped down micro-kernel based on Linux. Magenta’s lightweight design favors embedded applications.
