This will block the main thread and make your app very unresponsive.

you can always use background thread for this, if it becomes unresponsive

In Swift 4.2, we can already use: let image: NSImage = NSImage(contentsOf: url!)!

Swift 5 and safely unwrap

do {
    if let url = URL(string: imageURL) {
        let imageData = try Data(contentsOf: url)
        let image = NSImage(data: imageData)
    }
} catch {
    // Handle the error
}
