A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi <@UBU9TA6ET>, thank you for the Swift Export update... the focus on improving dev experience and KMP adoption is very much appreciated!

Question: Do you know if there is a similar initiative at JetBrains on the Windows/C#/.NET side of things?

I just started to read the docs on <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/docs/swift-export/architecture.md|Swift Export Architecture> and <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/docs/analysis/analysis-api/analysis-api.md|Analysis API>, and I imagine a similar pattern could be used to export a .NET Assembly, perhaps using <https://github.com/mono/CppSharp|mono/CppSharp> and C++/CLI to help with bridging.

Understandable, thank you!

I may try to experiment with a C++/CLI solution on my own. Regarding the "small C-compatible layer" mentioned in <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/docs/swift-export/compiler-bridges.md#exporting-kotlin-functions-as-c-functions|"Compiler bridges" docs>, could you point me to where this is done in your Swift Export code?

Please note that this is implementation detail at the moment, everything could change at any moment, yada yada :)
