Is Fuchsia support planned in the future?

Fuchsia  is a capability-basedreal-time operating system (RTOS) currently being developed by Google (from Wikipedia). Seems like Google has future plans to distribute its new OS on mobile devices (and others). Is Corona Labs planning to support Fuchsia OS in the future? Are there already any discussions on this topic?

We will have to see as it gets closer and we can evaluate the marketshare better.

Do you have a link to an article or articles that say it is a real-time OS?

I ask, because real-time OSes are typically used in embedded system, not user facing systems.  

(For reference Android, iOS, Windows, OS X are all general purpose OSes.)

Note: The idea of using the ‘core’ of an OS and modding it to be: real-time OR general-purpose isn’t new.

However, I don’t recall having seen any real-world instances where a single release of an OS was both real-time and general-purpose capable.

The question you ask is still a valid, i.e. “Will Corona run on it?”  (already answered by Rob).

Again, just curious in a technical-geek kind of way.

Ha!  My google powers must be weak.   :slight_smile: Reading now.

UPDATE: Interesting, but this looks like one of those Wikipedia posts that is mostly supposition right now.  I guess we’ll see in the future.

It wouldn’t surprise me for Google to replace Android at some point. But it would take years to build a new mobile OS. We simply can’t think about it until it’s on shipping devices.
