given this announcement, what would this mean for Pharo on the Raspberry Pi 2?

Let’s get the good stuff out of the way above the fold. Raspberry Pi 2 is now on sale for $35 (the same price as the existing Model B+), featuring: • A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance) • 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory) • Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux distributions, including Snappy Ubuntu Core, as well as Microsoft Windows 10.

There is a Jenkins build for Pharo done by Jean-Baptiste Arnaud. The usability is mainly hindered by the windowing system, which is VERY slow. On the raspberry, there is the possibility to replace X11 by wayland, and I read wrappers should exist to move from one to the other. Wayland can use the Raspberry GPU, which is VERY fast. Besides, JB’s version relies on pharoS and not pharo, so remains behind the main pharo development. But nobody has done that yet.

Oh, Linux for me will be perfect, thanks :)

I guessed as well. I was just considering how much more powerfull (and closer to standard ARM platforms?) the version 2 of the Pi seems to be.
