Does anybody know why was Scala implemented in Java and .NET instead of C or C++? Most languages are implemented with Cor C++ [i.e Erlang, Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl]. What are the advantages for Scala implemented in Java and .NET other than giving access to Java and .NET libraries?

UPDATE

Woudln't Scala gain more benefit if it is implemented in C because it can be tuned better rather than relying on JVM?
