Have you thought of adding an eBPF backend for Rust?

I'm curious where you work. I've been doing eBPF in production for a while as well, but our control plane is Go / C.

It's already done. LLVM IR can be compiled to eBPF already, and Rust compiles to LLVM IR. It just took a little bit of effort to make it not totally hacky, but that code isn't OS.
