     1  The project was initially created in 2017 as
     2  [`newtools/ebpf`](https://github.com/newtools/ebpf) by a group of passionate
     3  developers wanting to bring the power eBPF to Go applications. It quickly gained
     4  traction within the Go community, especially for projects that couldn't or
     5  wouldn't build upon the CGo-based BCC bindings at the time (`gobpf`).
     6  
     7  Since its inception, {{ proj }} has seen remarkable growth and widespread
     8  adoption. It has become a fundamental building block for numerous open-source
     9  projects. Major industry players and forward-thinking startups have integrated
    10  the library into their technology stacks to combine the power and flexibility of
    11  eBPF with the iteration speed, runtime safety and ease of deployment provided by
    12  the Go language.
    13  
    14  {{ proj }} maintains a strong commitment to collaborating with the upstream
    15  Linux project, which ensures that it stays aligned with the latest advancements
    16  in the eBPF ecosystem and remains compatible with the evolving Linux kernel and
    17  its co-located BPF library, `libbpf`.
