Cool, he is talking about the loader though, which would imply that this is all language independent? Except for where he mentions things getting executed before main in C++, which I'm assuming would be the doings of the C++ standard library.

It's still pretty language independent. Qemu for instance is a c codebase that depends on static initialization functions that run before main to register the different components.
