Hey Jakob! :-)
You're right with the extra boilerplate for the ARC.
However, I'm on Kotlin, not on Swift, and Kotlin is Garbage collected.

My point with the boilerplate, though is that Kotlin and Swift are developed with Android/iOS in mind, and they will therefore probably always be more suited for that
