Nice

More "authentic" (but also way less useful) if it booted to "bare metal" with no OS, just a Python (or similar) unikernel.

So one could do peek/poke, right to the hardware etc.

Like MicroPython [0]? I use that for a few hobby projects.

It works fairly well for all the little things, like the weather station I built with it. Being able to drop to REPL and rewrite functions on the fly is a little magic, too.
