[MacRuby-devel] The Future of MacRuby

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Yes, ARC as is can't be used in MacRuby, but the principles can be
ported. Which is what I did, more or less, in an experimental branch.
Now, there are various challenges to solve in order to reach
stability, but don't worry, we will get there.
