Strictly speaking, AppleScriptObjC does allow using it without GC, but you then have to add all the retain() and release() calls you'd need for manually-managed memory in ObjC. However, there's almost no need to do this [1], so we recommend just turning on GC and forgetting about it.

[1] It's basically a special case for 32-bit Automator actions, which, because the host application is non-GC, must also be non-GC. If you're writing a stand-alone application, you don't need to worry about it. _______________________________________________
