bpftrace provides a quick and easy way for people to write observability-based eBPF programs, especially those unfamiliar with the complexities of eBPF. We always claimed bpftrace was a "high-level tracing language" for Linux even though it was missing the basic features of a language: composability, primitives to avoid code duplication, and even proper loops. It was also trailing behind the larger, upstream BPF feature set. This talk is about how we're working to transform bpftrace from a box of tools (one-liners) to a language for making new tools.
