Now you confuse me. We were talking about why C++ is less needed 
in GUI development now in comparison to the 90s.

Javascript has been used for iPhone apps for at least a decade, 
in WebViews. Regular end users often didn't notice the difference 
as they were dressed up as native widgets and fine tuned. Or they 
used native widgets controlled by JavaScript.

JavaScript, Lua and other scripting languages have been used for 
GUIs of games, mobile apps and desktop apps even when the 
application engine is written in C++.

The ui-logic is often not very demanding. Which is why this 
approach makes sense.
