> gc, the Go compiler, has no LLVM-based BPF backend. Adding one is a multi-year compiler project. rustc is built on LLVM and that's why Aya works. So gobee emits C and reuses clang's BPF backend, which gives us mature codegen, BTF, and CO-RE relocations for free.

I wonder if TinyGo (https://tinygo.org/) might be a better fit here:

I've not played with TinyGo much so would be interested to hear other peoples experiences.
