@wooster @rentzsch @dwineman Yeah, I guess it's a necessary concession to the lowest common denominator reality of Cocoa programming today.

@buzz @wooster @rentzsch @dwineman That seems too blankety. I know what I’m doing, and I like ARC a lot:
Buzz Andersen ‏@buzz 11 Jul 2012

@cbowns Done arguing about this on Twitter. I'm going to write something about it.

@buzz @cbowns Looking forward to this (and @rentzsch's podcast). Any argument against ARC is going to have to be _incredibly_ compelling.

@schwa @cbowns @mronge not surprised you like+use ARC — it was designed for us
Jonathan Wight ‏@schwa 11 Jul 2012

@rentzsch Have you used ARC in anger yet? Aren’t you still on Xcode 3 (or did I imagine hearing that on your podcast?)

@schwa I’ve only used ARC for test projects. Started a new project a couple of months ago and decided against it.
Jonathan Wight ‏@schwa 11 Jul 2012

@rentzsch That strikes as bizarre. The gains far outweigh the costs of ARC in mind. Not even close. Looking forward to your podcast.

@schwa @rentzsch I like Arc in theory, but every once in a while I read about bugs in the compiler or headers. No surprises with R&R.
Greg Parker ‏@gparker 11 Jul 2012

@mjtsai @schwa @rentzsch No R/R surprises with MRC? Optimist. Xcode 4.4 fixes the compiler bugs - I know of none remaining, anyway.

@gparker @schwa @rentzsch Pragmatism. I can’t remember the last time I had a bug due to MRC (that wasn’t due to a Cocoa framework bug).
