This was posted by Make where Massimo Banzi from Arduino gave a State of Arduino speech at the recent Maker Faire Bay Area 2019.
Some highlights I pulled out of the speech.
- 30M downloads of the Arduino IDE per year but less purchased licensed products.
- New Head of Open Source and Communities - Badly needed
- Working closer with the Open Source Communities
- Donating $50,000 to support Open Source projects
- Intro to the new Re-imagined Nano line including some with multiple sensors
- Arduino IoT Cloud updates
- New features including SIM support for the MKR GSM 1400
- Maps
- Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab
- Arduino CTC GO!
- STEM Program for 14 to 17 year olds.
- More work on FPGA support including FPGA IDE
I'm sure I missed some but it was quite informative
