Actually I find this to be a serious pain point. Qt leans heavily on C++ features for core parts of its API (subclassing to create new widgets, for instance), and has its own C++ pre-processor. Getting to work in a different language in any capacity greater than "toy demo" is insanely hard - PyQt is probably the only success story here. I don't believe I have ever encountered a "real" program that uses Qt that was not written in C++ or Python.
