Respecting generational hypothesis is a good step towards engineering a GC-friendly design. Mind you, this brings back the necessity to reason about object lifetime, something a GC-based language absolves you from, but it does help. It tends to teach you a lesson that sometimes higher allocation count of objects that die in Gen 0 is preferable to fewer larger allocations which have higher chance of surviving until Gen 1 (.NET has three main generations for GC objects - 0 and 1 aka ephemeral and 2 aka long-lived, there are also LOH, POH and NonGC-heap).
