Invent a new ugly language??? Heh. No one is doing anything of the sort.
ObjC++ has been around for a while.

Heh, funny you should mention this. This type of thing is done in commercial
applications more often than you might think. I can think of a few examples in
my professional career where, yes, it was necessary to integrate with a well
tested, well known, library that just happened to be written in another
language. :)

It's not that easy... it's nice to say that we will make a parser that will
only handle "correct" HTML, but when you consider that this will make the
browser virtually useless for navigating almost half of the web pages out
there, the idea looses it's appeal. If you write a from scratch
implementation you will need to handle such pages, if you want anyone to
actually use it.
