I have been experimenting with different alternate memory models for
MacRuby on my spare time, and one of them seems to work well, modulo a few leaks. It's similar to ARC in design (but it has a different implementation). I have been working on a MacRuby app with friends using the new code, so far so good. I will merge my branch with GitHub as soon as it's stable, with a few other improvements. That should happen before Mountain Lion ships, so no worries, we should be fine.
This is great news. Does this mean that without a dependency to GC, MacRuby code will now in principle run under iOS? Cheers Frank
