TIL that Icon Composer uses Garbage Collection and thus can't run on Sierra. Dammit, I was still using that, mostly for quick scaling.

Version 1.4.1 does run on Sierra (whereas 1.4: PPC only, and 2.0: GC). But it only goes up to 128x128 icons, and scaling doesn't work.

If anybody wonders why I'm still hesitant about ARC, this is why. (See also: pref panes, where GC was first mandatory, and then illegal.)

@petermaurer And Automator actions. Broke compatibility there since the same file can’t be both at once. :(

@mjtsai @petermaurer Apple essentially went back to manual retain/release runtime* and got “GC” via smarter compiler. *mostly

@mjtsai @petermaurer FTR it took quite a while before I jumped on the ARC-train as well.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 20

@mmunz @petermaurer I have yet to do so. If one has working, tested MRR code, and Swift is the future, ARC Obj-C doesn’t seem worth it.

@mjtsai @petermaurer but if you’re updating that code, it frees up your mind from a menial task to focus on more important aspects of code.

@mmunz @petermaurer If I’m doing major updates to the code, I would just rewrite it in Swift.
