EBPF is a super interesting technology but it’s so painfully hard to use it for application development. There are some tools based on LLVM to compile EBPF programs using C as a source language (which is much easier to reason in than the low-level code), but there is a lot of room for improving the developer workflow.


bpftrace is getting pretty good lately, they've added support for stack arguments, so you can do things like trace golang function calls, and get arguments with a one-liner.
