I'm more super interesting in diving into EFI!
In highschool, I wrote a tiny toy kernel, running solely in 16bit real mode. Quite fun, but I wanted to go further and my knowledge was lacking, although the project did help me learn a lot of ASM.
The OP has shown that I could do all sorts of cool stuff going straight into x64 without all the incantations! That's actually super exciting, and makes me hate EFI a little less ;)
I'm going to go play, I think! I wonder what Lisp would be the best candidate here...
