No, MacRuby is garbage-collected, and there's no garbage collection in iOS.
Does iOS have a different runtime? That's a bit naff. Henry

I sure as heck hope that Apple is planning on changing this, once they get the RAM in these devices up to 1 o2 gb... But for now, I suspect that GC is a poor fit, because it lets the "high-water mark" of RAM usage drift higher between collections than careful manual memory management... -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice
