Mac Developer: Apple's top secret Swift language grew from work to sustain Objective C, which it now aims to replace
Apple's top secret Swift language grew from work to sustain Objective C, which it now aims to replace: "We simplified memory management with Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). "
I don't necessarily agree ARC simplifies anything. It's also at least 20 percent slower than non-ARC code. Noticeable on the ARM platform, not as much on the Desktop. Alas, the future.
Labels: ARC
