There are some great comments in that thread.
Seems that the most detailed and informed response is this:
http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=984735&cid=25252253
from someone related directly with the project and who knows about the porting decision. So, for me, is about how to get an open and proactive developer community. Seems that Sophie 1.0 has not this (in fact I remember getting no answer in their community forums) and migrating for a more popular language was thought as a way to get a more active developer community. So the question when you're going to start a project like this is who to get a healthy community. Scratch for example has both, a user and a developer communities even if is not made in a pretty popular language. Now that I'm reading Pharo by Example, inspired in Squeak by Example, I think that is needed to have something like Pharo/Squeak by projects so people with an understanding of the basics can know how to make things like Sophie or Scrath in Pharo/Squeak Smalltalk.
Cheers,
