VN engine

I though I could waste some time trying to make a visual novel engine on my own. So I'm looking for a OO language that has a decent 2D graphics library.

Tried Squeak yesterday. Slow as fuck and the morphs don't update unless you interact with them.

Any recommendations?

I for one am fucking sick and tired of you fucking anti-C++ niggers fucking crying about a superior language used in real-world applications.  Go back to crying yourself to sleep and using your fucking nigger ((parentheses)) toy language, thanks.  Nigger.  In before ``back to /b/, please,'' etc.
