> Go has value types and doesn't suffer from this issue, which is a reason why having a generational GC is not that important for Go.

Go is in the same camp as C#/.NET here, where the generational hypothesis certainly holds and therefore .NET uses a generational garbage collector. I am certain that the generational hypothesis holds for Go as well.

Not having a generational GC is a design mistake in Go. Google should fix that.
