Ok thanks for this link, interesting stuff there indeed :)
I guess I'll google a bit to see if I can understand the difference between ARC and a GC.

No, ARC is emphatically *not* garbage collection. It's not new either, Objectionable-C does it, as does auto_ptr in C++

There's a pretty accurate summary of the language on quora: http://www.quora.com/How-does-Swift-Apple-Programming-Language-compare-with-other-modern-programming-languages

Though I'm upset that the most popular answer fails to mention the complete lack of features for tackling concurrency!

    Thanks Cedric this is a nice summary / first look at the language!

    I notice the language features something they call "Automatic
    Reference Counting". Is this the same as a Garbage Collector?
