just curious, what problems do you see with gobgp?
reply(I have only a rather basic familiarity with go, but was considering gobgp for an infra project...)
Not speaking to their code, but to start GoBGP has the worst performance of any BGP daemon by a large margin [1].

Garbage collected languages like Go will always have worse performance than lower level languages like C (frr and bird are implemented in C).
replyGobgp is great if you want to embed it directly into a Go app though. Talos Linux has done that recently.
No they won't. They are generally faster in throughput than any non-gc application that isn't heavily hand optimized. Their problems are higher memory usage and unpredictable latency, not speed.
