Gobee: write eBPF programs in Go, transpiled via clang
Gobee, an open-source tool by developer Boratanrikulu, enables writing eBPF programs in Go by transpiling them to C via clang. This approach allows Go developers to leverage eBPF's capabilities for kernel tracing, networking, and security without learning C or using tools like BCC or libbpf. The project is hosted on GitHub and aims to simplify eBPF development by providing a Go-friendly interface. While still early-stage, Gobee could lower the barrier for Go developers to adopt eBPF, potentially increasing its use in observability and performance monitoring tools.
// why it matters
Go developers can now write eBPF programs without learning C, expanding eBPF's accessibility.
