I'd agree that reference counting is a form of garbage collection; It's what wikipedia says on it's page on reference counting. Maybe I was too hasty in my comment - or not very clear. I do think that benefits are to be had (as far as conveying information efficiently) when using more narrow and precise definitions.

I was also thinking "garbage collector" not "garbage collection". :P

There is no GC in RubyMotion. It uses the Obj-C ARC method to manage memory.

Correction: RubyMotion uses an ARC-like method to manage memory.
