C# has been AOT compiled since the early days.

Just that only dynamic linking was supported on the regular .NET Framework.

Unity(with IL2CPP), Mono and Windows 8 store apps also support static linking.

So the approach is the same as Xamarin for iOS or .NETbon the Windows store.

There is an additional phase that generates the native code, using MSIL as just yet another compiler phase.

As for the runtime, yes there needs to be a minimal set of services.

But even C, C++, Go, ... need to have some kind of runtime if you want to use all language features.
