The most obvious solution is to use one of the chromium/V8 based 
frameworks for the GUI and use the AOT compiled language for the 
application engine.

A well tuned GUI needs development with fast iterations, so a JIT 
+ REPL is your best bet. + probably easier to find UI designers 
that master javascript et al.

Thanks to ArrayBuffer you should be able to transfer an array of 
structs from C/D to javascript with no overhead.
