Show HN: Write your BPF programs in Go, not C | Hacker News
TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A Hacker News post introduced gobee, a tool that lets developers write eBPF programs in Go by transpiling them to C.
Instead of building a full Go-to-BPF compiler, gobee reuses clang and LLVM’s existing eBPF backend and toolchain.
The discussion centered on whether Go, C, or Rust is the best fit for kernel observability and networking work.
The post highlights a new path for using Go in eBPF development, while underscoring tradeoffs around verifier constraints, BTF, and CO-RE.
