As much as I like Swift, without real garbage collection I wouldn't want to use it an any enterprise project. Keeping track of ownership of reference counted objects shared between who knows how many other objects sounds like a nightmare.


There's nothing to keep track of, all reference counting is handled through ARC which is built in to the compiler.


I'm referring to cases where you have to use unowned, etc, to break reference cycles. The larger the application the harder it is to find these issues.
