Nodejs is your best solution. I suggest you do all your development in
Cloud9, which is a web based IDE. There is documentation on the Nodejs
website on interfacing to C and C++ code. You might want to look at
DojoToolkit for web based widgets such as button, dials, graphs, etc.
DojoToolkit plays nicely with Nodejs. There is also www.marqetta.org, which
is another web based IDE that supports DojoToolkit widgets.
