Perhaps 0wl means a GUI toolkit that is mostly written in Scheme, instead of mostly a wrapper to libraries written in some other language. That would allow the toolkit to be more Schemey. It could have a "presentation layer" that renders to HTML/Js/websockets, to make an app available over the web. Is that it? There's certainly a place for that kind of experimentation within the broader Guile project; probably not in the Guile repo itself, but who knows? > (I'm also not familiar with what you mean by "morphs".
