Write your BPF programs in Go, not C

In plain words

Ebpf is a Go library that lets developers write eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) programs in Go instead of C. It targets systems programmers and DevOps engineers who work with kernel-level networking, security, and monitoring tasks. The tool simplifies eBPF development by eliminating the need to switch languages, making it accessible to Go developers building low-level system tools without learning C.

Write your BPF programs in Go, not C. gobee transpiles a strict subset of Go into BPF C, generates typed Go bindings for the userspace side, and gates loads against the running kernel. The Go ecosystem has solid userspace tooling for BPF. The kernel side has always ended with "now write your program in C." Aya brought eBPF to Rust by writing a new BPF backend in rustc. gobee gets there a different way: by transpiling to C and reusing clang's maturefrom github.com

  ggc – A terminal-based Git CLI written in Go2025 · github.com · ▲65

  Hi HN, I built ggc (https://github.com/bmf-san/ggc), a terminal-based Git CLI tool written in Go. ggc provides: - A fast interactive UI (like `fzf`) for common Git operations - Traditional subcommands (e.g. `ggc add`, `ggc commit`) - Git-compatible config support (`ggc config` reads from `git config`) - Built-in aliases and workflow automation (e.g. `ggc addcommitpush`) The goal is to improve developer productivity by combining interactive workflows with scriptable CLI operations. It's still under active development, but I'd love feedback from the community! GitHub:…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
