Some of the plasmoids are implemented in JavaScript I think, but personally I'd love to see Dart as a consideration for that "high level language" choice.
It already does a great job at gluing high level rendering abstractions with low level rendering libraries within the Flutter SDK, and supports a lot of useful paradigms in UI development such as first class functions, null safety, enhanced enumerators, etc.
I can see why it's given a wide berth from FOSS since it's associated with JavaScript AND Google (two controversial terms in programming to say the least...) but working with it daily really does remind me how well it lends itself to frontend development.
