Josh Triplett started out with "the punchline" for his PyCon 2015 talk 
on porting Python to run without an operating system: he and his Intel 
colleagues got the interpreter to run in the GRUB boot loader for either 
BIOS or EFI systems. But that didn't spoil the rest of the talk by any 
means. He had plenty of interesting things to say and a number of 
eye-opening demos to show as well.
