For a full Magma version on Pharo: I doubt that will happen as Chris Muller was and still is more oriented towards Squeak as development platform. He is the author of Magma and beside the port it would cost him (or anyone who would do such a port) more effort to maintain another Pharo specific version.
A Magma version on Pharo is perfectly doable, and Chris has always said he'd be willing to support anyone willing to do the port. It is a significant amount of work, and only makes sense when someone is willing to commit to maintaining it on successive Pharo versions, i.e. has a commercial use case that can afford to upgrade it. The first port will be significant as it needs to take into account a few years of upgrades and deprecations. It is also a job not so suited to a student as it requires a lot of email history digging and experience with Squeak and Pharo. Stephan
