So perhaps you could tell me how to design a GUI framework in FP and
without OOP. To me it seems that GUI is the main domain the OOP was
crafted for, but if you have some nice functional ideas, perhaps you
could help me to redesign my framework.

The base of the framework can be browsed here:

What is particularly relevant is the <widget> class. I recently
started creating my own OOP framework atop of GOOPS, so the same class
could be equivalently written as

(see at the bottom)

But I don't see any good alternative to OOP.
