Could you build this?
No Building a custom runtime, dependency resolver, and package manager around LuaJIT requires low-level systems programming and compiler runtime expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires C, C++, or low-level LuaJIT C-API development to bundle an embeddable runtime environment with native libuv/libcurl bindings for networking and file I/O. Additionally needs a custom packaging format, SAT solver for dependency resolution, and multi-platform compilation toolchains.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
