Web development without using HTML/CSS/JavaScript

I have to write a web application, and I am not sure which technology to choose. The user interface has to look like a desktop application. From my (limited) experience with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, I know this is far from easy. What I'd like is to be able to program just like in C++, C# or Java, because I think these languages are far more suited for implementing a GUI.

My question is threefold:

  • Is this possible?
  • Which technologies can be used for this?
  • And if it is possible, why are most web applications still made using HTML and JavaScript?

Update: Thanks for the many responses!

HTML and CSS are the basic languages of websites, and you need both to make a good website. HTML without any CSS will not only look ugly, but it can make it look like there's a serious problem with your site. HTML and CSS are very easy to learn, compared to other coding languages.

Yes, it is possible you could use Silverlight or JavaFX (even though it would require a minimum of HTML like 4 tags...).

The problem with Silverlight or JavaFX and Flash at the same time is that they suck at SEO, that is search engine optimization, as Google & co can't look inside your app.
