But it's written in some oddball language called Squeak
Squeak is just a programming environment for Smalltalk, the language in which object-oriented programming was invented.
If anything, it's those languages that tried to bolt on object-oriented features to Algol that are the oddballs!
Smalltalk is still being used? That's really surprising honestly.
Have you heard of objective C? It is basically C with embedded Smalltalk.
