pharo-launcher should be ported to the Raspberry Pi.
Describe the solution you'd like
See above. The draft edition of the current Pharo by Example boasts: "Pharo is highly portable. Pharo can run on OS X, Windows, Linux, Android, iOS, and Raspberry Pi." However, the Raspberry Pi is currently severely underserved by the lack of pharo-launcher.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I was ultimately able to get Pharo to run on my Pi 400; however, the process was incredibly byzantine and pretty much lacked any documentation. I was extremely fortunate to have figured it out at all. The details of that process are described here:
Getting Pharo to run on the Pi should not be this difficult.
Expected development cost
I'm not immensely familiar with the pharo-launcher code base but my intuition suggests that this improvement would largely take the form of compilation (or cross-compilation) for the 32-bit ARM platform in addition to a new link on the website. This seems like a small amount of effort with very substantial gains as the Pi is widely used for people who want to experiment with programming.
