I thought that C++ plugins can be used in node.js. This would probably have been the way if had chosen if I wanted to include ultimate series port control.
To be honest I never though about Phyton. I know that the networking capability is good. But the second thing that comes into my mind is easy text processing. But not easy graphics control. I have to look into this because I probably just missed the developlment of the last decade ;-). I'm looking for an easy graphic interface like javascript/html5 where you can just create window, load carnavas, place carnavas. Load image, place image, animate image, handle event. But I found this drop in approach only for interpreter languages. Most libraries I found for C++ have the "painting philosophy" making everything more complicated (although I was used to this). If I look at QT quick it says 'QML is based on CSS and JavaScript', 'similarity to CSS and JavaScript', ... It starts to sound like it's a javascript copy but I don't see the advantage on using that copy. I've learned that I don't need OpenGL (I was mistaken on that in the beginning). But the majority of the elements that I'm gonna display is animated. So 2D hardware support for sprite position transitions and animiations would be a grat. Otherwise the BBB will spend considerable processing time on handling the graphics. The most feasible approach in the moment seems to make the "worker thread" in C/C++ including a server (just because I know the language well and many potential future porblems might already have C solutions). And to make the GUI in javascript/html5. Than I have one common GUI. But I don't know a way how javascipt uses HW graphic support on BBB. I'm still in the conception phase. Web interface is a nice to have. Priority has ofcourse the local implementation. It could well be that I discard the whole web interface if it blows up the effort and log in on BBB via X window if needed.
