I recommand David Beazley's talk from a recent PyCon India on a similar subject : https://youtu.be/r-A78RgMhZU

Mostly live coded, it really is pretty amazing but also quite insightful.

> In this talk, I live-code a simple stack machine and turn it into an interpreter capable of running Web Assembly. I then use that to play a game written in Rust.

Wow. This is mind blowing. Thanks for the pointer.

He has a lambda calculus talk in python[0] that is just as good. Just a great educator.

U of Chicago, I believe, denied him tenure, when he was an assistant prof there.

How good of an educator you are may not even be in the top 5 most important things to get tenure, unfortunately.
