Can you explain how reference counting can be safely implemented
in a parallel multithreaded environment, without heavily affecting
performance?<br>

*Very* good point !<br>
<br>
IMHO a by far more advantageous feature to be added than ref-counted
objects would be RTL support and Syntax candy for "parallel Loops",
and the necessary support stuff like "Future variables" (or similar
thingies). <br>
<br>
All new mid-level hardware now has art least four cores and hence
performance would benefit from such features in may projects.<br>
<br>
So maybe "ARC" and "parallel" paradigms should be discussed together
so that no mutual problems are introduced.<br>
