Whoa! Marketing? Interop with C is a MASSIVE use-case. And iOS is A LOT faster and more responsive than android. That is, right there, total proof that can't denied.
I do both, and the speed of apple way and the simplicity of bridge the C-abi is not a joke.
- yyyk 4y agoThe android/iOS comparison has many more factors than GC type. I suspect the main difference is processor type - Qualcomm ARM has been very disappointing so far, and GC type doesn't even come into it.
- mamcx 4y agoCertainly, but Apple code also run on x86. My main point actually is that Apple don't pick this route for the fun of it. It HAS a need to be performant on mobiles devices (that have less luxury to get a GC that eat Ram) and that need represent A LOT OF MONEY. You can say any step about this, including making processors, are directly or indirectly related to the need. P.D: I don't see Rc VS Gc as enemies, but as faces of the same coin. ARC is just a way to apply some Gc lessons to naive Rc. I think naive Rc is truly worse than Gc, but smart Rc is total fine and consider it the best of both in the general case...
