Yes, we could, and I imagine we will at some point. It'll have become a user-level problem: the kernel capabilities are there (BPF+everything else), and there's the bcc user-level libraries (written in C) that make using the kernel stuff easier. The easiest way to add a front end would be to consume the bcc libraries. There's plenty of examples of how to use them (the Python and lua interfaces). So if a scripting interface existed, would you use it? For what? Yes, it'd be nice to have, but I think a lot of people will get as far as using the provided bcc tools and be happy with that.
