Just thought it would be nice to give a heads up about Apple's
plans to replace Objective-C in the long run.
The language was presented today at the WWDC Keynote, looks
like Ruby, uses ARC alongside the Objective-C runtime.

It also has a nice REPL experience, similar to Python's
worksheets in IPython.

It appears they still have aways to go with the ARC

It's going to be very interesting to see how good they can get it
though. As far as I know, Apple has the most experience with ARC
and they certainly have the brainpower to push it to its limits.
