Been thinking about this as well. Working on language native libs to react to eBPF telemetry and scale logic forks appropriately to avoid exhausting the host, motivated by disdain for Docker/k8s. I’d rather just import a dep and develop the behavior.

But I don’t have to time to write all that. So I have actually been writing helper scripts to generate object code and function signatures via ast libs.

This is how I originally “learned programming” in the 90s. The industry zeitgeist shifted to “churn out code” and all that wizardry was lost. I have no idea how to prove it but I sometimes think it was intentional to capture worker agency.

It’s been fun reconnecting to it but the ecosystem of helper tooling … well there is none. Tons of blogs with basics about for loops though.
