Note that most of the UI code of gnome-shell is written in javascript.
For the specific of label, here a commit example:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=df305314c10ac18c77c6707a4f5e50bd41d4adcd

It is true that there are some C code, but it is mostly to give the
support needed to be able to set labels, roles and others on the
javascript code and the keyboard navigation support. For example:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=bd28d5c48af87e34c99cf20cc18c409cca1a1080

And (almost) for sure, gnome-shell doesn't have any line written in c++.
