Usage of C/C++ within HMI / SCADA

[pvbrowser 0]

We publish an open source HMI / SCADA framework http://pvbrowser.org The design of the masks is done graphically but the logic is done using C/C++. For simple visualizations only very few functions need to be inserted but you can use the full power of a high level programming language if you need more. My question is how good this approach is accepted by you ? Do you have knowledge in C/C++ or any other high level programming language ? Ps: pvbrowser can also be coded in Python but this adds a bigger footprint which i personally do not like.
