Ok thanks for this link, interesting stuff there indeed :)
I guess I'll google a bit to see if I can understand the difference

No, ARC is emphatically *not* garbage collection. It's not new

There's a pretty accurate summary of the language on quora:

Though I'm upset that the most popular answer fails to mention the

Thanks Cedric this is a nice summary / first look at the language!
I notice the language features something they call "Automatic
Reference Counting". Is this the same as a Garbage Collector?
