Things are a bit different in certain graphics app domains, where you need to create complex tools for professionals (think of image editing, 3D modeling, video processing, CAD, game engines, etc.) The users demand all kinds of functionality that requires squeezing the CPU and GPU to the fullest extent. And you have to do this while designing a complex UI with numerous complex controls, and it also needs to be butter-smooth. (Also note that the majority of the low-level APIs/drivers you need to use are in C/C++!) In that case, using languages like Go/Java/Javascript creates more problems than it solves (even if you only write the core in C++/Rust and use bindings.)
