Guessing this is BPF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Packet_Filter But, reader shouldn't have to guess. That is the link that should be in your Introduction. Just after tldr;
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

One nitpick: Please include a paragraph/section/infobox explaining what eBPF is and what problems should be solved using it. I am a huge fan of making our tech world more accessible and as such we should think to some degree about people who don't know every acronym.
