It's GObject Introspection: https://gi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Many libraries become available through GI, not only GTK.

Yes.

For what it's worth I did an attempt to get a minimal GTK app in Python and Guile running (https://gitlab.com/luis-felipe/geteka).

From that exercise, though, I had to choose Python for my current desktop app project, because I found it easier to make progress. But I'd like to try again with Guile knowing what I've learned with Python.
