- pjmlp 3y agoAutomatic Reference Counting. Writing by hand isn't the same.
- xanathar 3y agoExcept that even Apple's ARC is not automatic - try passing the pointer to a GArray, or putting it on a malloc'ed linked list or any other data structure not implemented in Swift or ObjectiveC (provided that you compile objectiveC with the correct build flags). The point is: you can't leak, you can't end up keeping a reference without incrementing the refcount and you don't events have to worry about any of the refcounting as long as the code you write is sound according to Rust rules.
