I'm a little sad Apple decided to deprecate its Objective-C garbage
collector. Having the choice between GC and reference counting was great
(although it surely sucks for library developers who need to support
both modes).
Yeah I agree, but ARC works for iOS as well. They never implemented the
GC on iOS. Now is MacRuby is available on iOS, which is probably due to ARC.
