How do you talk to typical OS-, IO- or GUI-APIs (which all essentially represent global mutable state) in Haskell with pure functional code?

  via the IO monad.

  A toy mental model could be e.g. a function that takes OS/IO/GUI events and produces actions (which are then executed by the caller) and then iterate it as long as the program runs. This function in itself can be pure.
