Of course not. :-) I was highlighting the fact that their declarative
structures make QML or HTML+CSS good for describing a GUI's looks.
This is in contrast to imperative languages like C++ or JavaScript or
PHP -- I don't want to use any of these to describe a GUI's looks.

I consider QML and JavaScript to be different languages. JavaScript
can be embedded into QML to extend QML's capabilities, just like how
it can be embedded into HTML to extend HTML's capabilities.
(Alternatively, one could argue that QML is a hybrid
declarative-imperative language).
