Signals enable me to implement my own ARC (Active Reference Counting) about angular HOT 5 CLOSED

You are right so if I understand correctly they just don't wanna allow this possibility cause its not what Singlas are in the Angular team oppinion deseigned for?

Correct. Observing the act of subscribing / unsubscribing would make the signal read side-effectfull introducing the notion similar to "hot" vs. "cold" observables. This is not what signals are designed for. You might want to use a different reactive primitive for your use-cases.

Hi, I believe this is an issue you have already opened #51167 and was adressed in #50182.

I was just trying to avoid it cause for me it means I have to have a Subject and then on top of that for each component I have to cast it into a signal, its at least 2N for memory or even MN. I guess I have then no choice.
