Google development team recruits Node.js transplant engineers Fuchsia is expected to support JavaScript applications

Google's Fuchsia operating system, which has been secretly developed for three years, seems to be built specifically for mobile and desktop devices, with a real-time kernel and a unique interface. Previously, we already knew that Fuchsia would support programming languages ​​such as Google Dart and Apple Swift. But now, JavaScript may also join the queue. Yesterday, Yang Guo from the Node.js project team tweeted that he was looking for a full-time software engineer to port Node.js to the Fuchsia operating system developed in the Google office in Munich, Germany.

If you are not familiar with Node or JavaScript, here is a quick explanation:

First, JavaScript is the core programming language of the Web, and nearly every interactive site and Web application is written in JavaScript.

Secondly, Node.js, also known as Node for short, is an environment for running JavaScript outside of the browser, with better access to the device's file system and network stack.

It is said to be a popular way to create command-line tools and applications for servers, and Node.js is also a component in Electron.

As for what the Google Fuchsia team wants to achieve, we guess that porting Electron to Fuchsia will be the first step.

This is a distinct advantage for potential desktop users, but it can also create applications for creating Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

***, if Fuchsia can provide deep support for the JavaScript language, the development of such applications will become easier.
