Three built-in neovim features

I want to share a few neovim built-in features that can make you more productive.

https://blog.kdheepak.com/three-built-in-neovim-features.html

Hello! First off, I want to say that I love the blog post! It's such an exciting way to write plugins and I had no idea about the lua C abi bindings in such detail before. I have run into a bit of a snag though it's probably just due to my own ignorance.

I'm running MacOs 10.15.7, and after following the instructions I wasn't able to get the plugin to compile.
My steps were

1. cargo new --lib rust_plugin_test
2. add

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

[dependencies]
mlua = {version = "*", features = ["luajit", "vendored", "module", "macros"]}

to my cargo.toml
3. Replace my src/lib.rs with

use mlua::chunk;
use mlua::prelude::*;

fn hello(lua: &Lua, name: String) -> LuaResult<LuaTable> {
    let t = lua.create_table()?;
    t.set("name", name.clone())?;
    let _globals = lua.globals();
    lua.load(chunk! {
        print("hello, " .. $name)
    })
    .exec()?;
    Ok(t)
}

#[mlua::lua_module]
fn moonshine(lua: &Lua) -> LuaResult<LuaTable> {
    let exports = lua.create_table()?;
    exports.set("hello", lua.create_function(hello)?)?;
    Ok(exports)
}

4. Since there is no ~/.cargo/config file by default I touch .cargo/config
5. copy

[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
rustflags = [
  "-C", "link-arg=-undefined",
  "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",
]

[target.aarch64-apple-darwin]
rustflags = [
  "-C", "link-arg=-undefined",
  "-C", "link-arg=dynamic_lookup",
]

into ~/.cargo/config
6. Finally I run cargo build --release && mv target/release/libmoonshine.dylib lua/moonshine.so
The output of which is

mv: rename target/release/libmoonshine.dylib to lua/moonshine.so: No such file or directory

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, and if I am I'm very sorry.

Thanks again for your time!

Franklin.jl has lots of neat features. Instead of reinventing the wheel using lua filters and pandoc, using Frankin.jl might be the way to go.
