I did something similar a long time ago https://github.com/facebookresearch/py2bpf

It was definitely a toy, I transliterated from python bytecode (a stack based vm) into bpf. I also wrote the full code gen stack myself (bpf was simpler back then)

But using llvm and not marrying things to cpython implementation makes this approach way better

Thank you! Ours is a toy for now as well, but I think the idea is pretty good, so we'll continue to work on it. (This was actually a hackathon project, so the code is pretty messy and not something I am proud of)
