I think you should cover C#. It allows virtual generic

Sounds like a good idea, I'll have to dig into it since at
this time I don't really understand what that means it is
doing.
Ok, didn't realize C# allowed free form generic methods. Good
to know.

No time to update the article yet.
Probably you should also have a look how Eiffel, Modula-3 and Ada
implement generics.
They are quite similar to C++ and D, with the constraint that the
programmer has to explicitly instantiate which types are used.
