Penpot was pretty good a couple of years ago and it seems like they really boomed after the Figma/adobe acquisition announcement last year: https://github.com/penpot/penpot
How about Penpot? It's a Figma replacement written in Clojure.

Whimsical (commercial product) is also written in Clojure / Clojurescript.

Penpot is really amazing https://penpot.app

Similar to Sketch or Figma but Open Source https://github.com/penpot/penpot Have a try if you haven't! I wish one day I could replace my Figma workflows

Wow, thats great feedback, let me write all that down! I'll tell you this already, desktop version is on the roadmap, we will probably produce an electron-based "native" app that can "install". We kind of like the idea of having the best of both worlds. That's also the beauty of open source, what's the risk really? Feel free to go to https://github.com/penpot/penpot and elaborate on those topics! Thank you!
The whole thing is opensource: https://github.com/penpot/penpot

Both backend and frontend are in there. While they provide a docker image for testing I have actually installed it on Triton / SmartOS (ie. Illumos) in a zone. So I can confirm all the sources are there.
