Why did you choose SmallTalk?

@the scratch team:
Why did you choose to write scratch in SmallTalk? Its so slow and a very strange language... I'm sure there is a reason but I can figure out why you wouldn't just write it in C or C++ since Scratch is already interpreted.

Squeak is an environment, Smalltalk is a language.
