        I like that Nyan Cat line counter.

    This is really nice, I totally missed that you can use swift code in a module. Thanks for sharing.

      I hope this post brings more visibility to u/vsavchenko’s https://github.com/SavchenkoValeriy/emacs-swift-module and spark more more integrations. u/divinedominion got ideas https://mastodon.social/@ctietze/111470001921901575 Maybe Maps https://xenodium.com/hey-emacs-where-did-i-take-that-photo?

    Xenodium’s Github repo for the dynamic module needs more stars and links so more people find it

    I’ll be collecting dynamic modules while deciding how to make a template for elisp repo kit (Rust).

    A year ago, u/vsavchenko announced https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/wemj1z/writing_emacs_dynamic_modules_in_swift. I had been meaning to try it out for some time. Finally had the chance and it’s really neat!

    For example, most of the sharing logic from the experiment in the screen grab is below:

    try env.defun(
      "macos-module--share",
      with: """
        Share files in ARG1.
    
        ARG1 must be a vector (not a list) of file paths.
        """
    ) { (env: Environment, files: [String]) in
      let urls = files.map { URL(fileURLWithPath: $0) }
    
      let picker = NSSharingServicePicker(items: urls)
      guard let view = NSApp.mainWindow?.contentView else {
        return
      }
    
      let x = try env.funcall("macos--emacs-point-x") as Int
      let y = try env.funcall("macos--emacs-point-y") as Int
    
      let rect = NSRect(
        x: x + 15, y: Int(view.bounds.height) - y + 15, width: 1, height: 1
      )
      picker.show(relativeTo: rect, of: view, preferredEdge: .maxY)
    
      return
    }

      Nice that you had a chance to try it. Would be amazing to hear your feedback and maybe some improvement ideas!

        So far, in the small experiments I’ve done, it’s been fantastic. Thank you! You’ve also done a wonderful job with the documentation https://savchenkovaleriy.github.io/emacs-swift-module/documentation/emacsswiftmodule

        I’ll file issues if I run into any troubles.

        Apart from https://github.com/roife/emt (which reminded me to look at your project), I haven’t seen other integrations. I’d love to see what others are doing. What are you using it for?

        So far, I’m replacing my previous implementations of reveal in finder (w/ selection) and sharing, with a snappy module implementation. Good times :)

        Thanks again for the thorough work on it.
