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?

no operating system uses "C/C++". some use C, some use sepples, some use both. but none use that fucked up half-sepples half-C language that some idiot invented because he thought sepples didn't fuck C up enough.
