On Monday, June 6th, 2011, after Steve Jobs' last public appearance as a keynote speaker, took place the "Developer Tools Kickoff" session at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, also known as WWDC. That day, Chris Lattner, creator of the LLVM compiler infrastructure and the Swift programming language, introduced a new feature of the Objective-C language to thunderous applause. This feature, still present in Swift, is known as "Automatic Reference Counting", or ARC.

The results have been positive when comparing these agents to previous more general approaches.
