Anyone mentioned Automatic Reference Counting yet? Works pretty well for
ObjC from what I've seen.

Here on the forums? Quite a bit. The designer of ObjC's ARC even stopped in to clarify a few points about how it works in ObjC.

Glad it's on the radar.  I hear lots of grousing about GC issues and things
like this article saying shared_ptr is where it's at, but not as much about
ARC as a solution.
I'm no expert on it, but it seems if one is going to be discussing memory
management at large, ARC should be part of the discussion.
