The "A" in ARC is a bit of an euphemism. You basically move the coding of your memory management into the type signatures, which don't write themselves automatically either. The amout of thoughts you have to make during development is the same.

I thought the A was for atomic, ARC is atomic reference count. RC is non atomic.

My mistake, in rust it is atomic, in objective c it is automatic.
