Right, I picked my words carefully. I’m asking for any case where there was significant pressure for any language, nascent or otherwise, not to adopt generics. Not “this language we already use that doesn’t have them is OK".
Are you trying to argue that generational GC does not have a practical benefit for most programs? Because that would be very hard to successfully argue!

Yes, I am arguing that there are huge numbers of important commercial programming problems that don’t care whether their GC is generational or — scarier still! — care much more about latency than throughput.
