Okay, adding #swift Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), which is thread safe, to what my dream #programmingLanguage should have. Compared to Swift, #nim their preferred implementation, ORC, doesn’t leak memory when dealing with reference cycles. Although I don’t know if #nimlang their implementation it thread safe, as well.
Maybe my theoretical #languageDesign should warn, but leak upon reference cycles. It seems to make the implementation easier.
