osmo-st-* projects

Hello there!

The question out of curiosity. Hard to not notice quite a few of projects written in Smalltalk.

Why was cellular network implementation in Smalltalk abandoned? Or was everything in C initially and you just tried out Smalltalk as a possible alternative? What was your thinking back then?

Interested to know some history.

Thanks a lot!

P.S. of course, I see some stuff in Erlang as well, but it has an awesome Diameter support which kind of answers a similar question but related to Erlang.
