Except that is .NET 2.0. Do you also want to compare Go with K&R C compilers for that matter?

Do you have any indication that this has changed? If yes, how, without runtime code generation?

I don't have information, but by focusing on NGEN for .NET 2.0 you forgot all the other implementations I mentioned.

Bartok compiler for Singularity uses another approach of code generation.

Windows Phone 8 only runs native code. .NET IL gets compiled down to native code when uploaded to the Windows App Store, by making use of an optimizing IL to native compiler.

Mono also compiles to native code on iOS and other systems as well

The IL2CPU compiler used in the Cosmos project, which is still not fully implemented

Going back to the runtime code generation (JIT), there is also SPUR being used at Microsoft Research

Don't mix languages with their implementations.

I didn't find anything useful about generics in any of your links.
