I would see the FFI integration being much more approachable. In R, Python, Tcl, and now Java with JNA things are going nicely.
Why is it a pain on our platform and why insist on doing all in Pharo? This is holding us back. Pharo is super strong at some things. We just do not need it to be redoing everything when good business is at hand and industry standard libs available. A reason why we try to use libgit2 I guess. Something external.
