I think JUCE is largely the reason for why almost everyone starts 
out with C++.

Anyway, audio is an area where you have to write your own MM no 
matter which language, sabso it a bit atypical. If you create 
many similar products, then you can create you own framework with 
your own MM. Most dont, so then you need a solid MM for that 
application.

I find that the easy option for GUI on mac now is SwiftUI, 
implies xcode, implies C++.

If I planned to do many similar applications, then I might have 
considered something else...
