  type
      A = object
  
  
  proc x(): A =
      var x = A()
      return x
  
  var obj = x()
  Run

  Is probably what you seen ref A in your example was a ref ref object which has a second pointer indirection.

  When you type is declared as a ref object, the ref is a part of it, so you don't need to add it anywhere else.

  Okay, now I think I got it, (I even tried) but when should I return this type instead of an object type?
