It'll look like this: Yes, nothing will change for writing everyday code, that's a goal of ARC, as the replacement default GC. What ARC will bring are extra features that allows better optimization of Nim code, a more deterministic memory management strategy, better use of destructors so you don't have to `close()` things after you're done w them, finally make multithreading bearable in Nim, and so on... It'll take a long time before ARC rises to be the replacement though, so don't worry about it too much unless you have specialized use case that would benefit from it
