Speaking about retain/release being OpenStep specific. Why not to
include some kind of garbage collection into the language too? It is
used in majority of sources. Of course, with appropriate library
hooks/callbacks, so one can implement custom GC method. I think it
can be done in some simple way.
The GNU runtime can be configured with garbage collection enabled.
GNUstep uses the RETAIN/RELEASE/AUTORELEASE related macros because of
this. It also introduces the gnugc-gnu-gnu library combo for the GC
enabled runtime. I don't think this gets much testing though, but
that's pure speculation.
Why it is not used? Just lack of recommendations/advertising or are
there some other reasons? What are the problems with the GC (... that
can not be solved)?
I wrote a critique of garbage collection applied to C like languages:
