You could either use a C-Package for the heavy work, or you could do 
the backend in C++ and the frontend in Cocoa on OS X.

Though that makes it impossible to port it to GnuStep the advantage 
would be that you get the best of both worlds (C++ computation/Obj-C 
fast and maintainable gui building)
