I know I’ve brought up Objective-C++ to you here before, but I’m not sure you
registered its existence, based on comments like this.

Any well-designed app keeps the data model and core business logic separate
from the UI. So having that logic in C++ is not a big problem.

As for the UI code, I’ve still never found a cross-platform UI framework that
creates decent apps. Qt is hideous, and Electron results in immensely bloated
websites-in-a-box. So to do a good job, you need to code the UI for each
platform anyway.
