Martin have you looked at Typescript.  It's very close to C++ and the refactoring support in VSCode is quite good.  Not sure if Gravit uses it, but Gravit is a very good backdrop as to what is possible:

Another interesting thing would be to have mini sub assemblies of Inkscape C++ vs. Inkscape V8 (Javascript) just to compare performance and code modularity / foot print size.
