What sometimes goes missed between the lines is that one of the
decisions to go ARC instead of GC, is because the Objective-C GC never
worked properly and ARC offers a better fit for the current state of
Objective-C world.
First of all, GC was an opt-in and very few libraries supported it.
Wasn't it possible to use the GC with all libraries but not the other
way around?
Then we have the typical issues with a conservative GC in a C based
language, which lead to tons of issues if one looks into developer forums.
The GC only worked for the Objective-C part.
