I did a lightning talk at the Boston Python Meetup on August 21, 2018, entitled “What if you did very bad things with integers? Or: Through CPython and back again”.
You can get a PDF of my slides, but it’s kind of broken since the slides were originally in Keynote form (I can provide a copy to you in .key format on request).
