C++ is great, but I’ve always hesitated in pushing Qt at my employer because I’ve never quite understood their licensing. It seems like it’s really expensive for actual commercial use. I keep meaning to dive into it to learn it now that my C++ is better, but what stops me there is that I don’t quite get where QtQuick + JavaScript fits in, or what parts of Qt I should be using / putting time into learning. For other languages, I don’t want to use an ‘unofficial’ binding in case it breaks.

Every time Qt is mentioned there is a comment with a licensing question. You don't pay for commercial use as long as you don't want to make secret modification to Qt itself. Paid licenses are for a couple of obscure modules. QtQuick + JavaScript puts JavaScript into its original place that it had at the times of the old web: oneliners to bind stuff together. Also there is probably a confusion from Qt having two distinct GUI systems: QtWidgets and QtQuick.
