I need to do a new mockup and I don't have any idea what a good language tool is. My main languages are C (10+ years), C++ (5 years), Delphi (3 years).

I have seen applications written with a HTML5 front-end that are really functional. I don't see doing that in html+css. You meant to say application mockups right?
