Personally I don't mind to code in two languages. I would treat QML as an interface builder language. (e.g the old .ui file or those xml files in Android) But the hard problem is on the data sharing model between C++ and QML/JS. QAbstractItemModel is an overkill solution. Many people may instead chose QObjectListModel for sharing data. But I have too many bad experience with it. It is too easy to crash and difficult to trace the problem.
