(I believe the way the FFI works I'll have to make a new wrapper for each "thing" because I can't directly call objective-c).
Probably, yes.
I suppose I should try adding wrappers around all the GLFW functions so that it sends the request over to the main thread and see if it solves my problem. The downside is that it would be a lot of wrapper code and it would be nice to have solution that other libraries can use.
Do you mean, on each function of GLFW's API? Usually it's better to call postGUISync/postGUIAsync alikes with the largest number of function calls possible because (a) of the overhead (especially postGUISync's) and (b) it's safer to assume that postGUIAsyncs can be reordered. That is, if you need to call 'do {foo; bar}', instead of using 'do {fooS; barS}' where these are wrapped functions, call 'postGUISync $ do {foo; bar}'. This solution is general in the sense that you only have to code it once for everything Cocoa-related. Cheers! =) -- Felipe.
