Doing a Qt GUI in C++ is not that special.  Choice of implementation 
language may be based on familiarity, time to complete, performance, 
efficiency, and added package dependencies.  Since Qt is written in 
C++, GUI programs using it are most efficient (memory and speed) if 
they are also written in C++.  As long as one sticks to C++ (and C), 
then Qt helps provide application portability on many types of 
systems.

Perl and Python add quite a lot of memory overhead.  My experience 
with Python (for web-based user interface) is that it provides a very 
nice incremental rapid development experience but with an unexpectedly 
high cost in terms of memory use.

The pleasant incremental rapid development model offered by Python and 
Perl could be the deciding factor when it comes to developing a user 
interface but it does come with a cost.
