[autoreleasepool]

It's not the end user that would suffer, but the programmer. Who want's to program around a process that blocks all other threads? Not me. I hate boiler plate.

Swift's ARC is basically automatic boilerplate for resource management that's applied at compile time. It's extremely flexible in that you can also use raw pointers and manage memory manually if you want to. A native language with ARC as a passive option is a way better tool for making games than a garbage collected one on the VM, IMO.

I'll never understand why people think winking online is a socially competent thing to do.
