Then try QML! You can create Qt apps using JavaScript (it's ES5 though).

Seconded. I got QML running on my pi using EGL (fullscreen without X) and love it.

QML is actually pretty awesome, I got into it through KDE/Plasma widget development. I think it should be possible to get newest JS working using Babel in your build pipeline. I think it makes a LOT of sense in cases where you develop a UI and can't effort to embed webkit/chrome.

Wow, I just checked it, and it looks awesome! I'm very exited about the next Qt 5.12. Thank you for letting me know.
