Garbage-Collected Objective-C Coming in Mac OS X 10.5?

John Siracusa on updated gcc documentation that indicates that garbage collection is a planned feature for Objective-C Cocoa applications in Mac OS X 10.5. If this comes to fruition and works well, it’s going to be very popular with Mac developers — but it’s also only going to be available for apps that run only on 10.5 or later.
