Nice to see it uses Qt C++ and QML (:

TypeScript is way, way too slow to use for desktop applications. People try and, surprise surprise, those applications are slow as shit.
Qt has a C++ backend, so C++ is used. Qt is relatively safe and well designed.
Qt uses "slow as shit" JavaScript in its UI markup language:

Is your complaint with Electron, the "browser as local GUI app" framework that's been popular with SaaS vendors for their "native" apps?
TypeScript transpile to Javascript - do you really want your operating system's shell written in slow ass Javascript? Modern C++ with hardening rules for the compiler[1] is pretty safe.

No, not nice. It should use TypeScript or Rust. C++/QML is unsafe.
