Could you build this?

No Building a performant, keyboard-driven native IDE with embedded terminal emulators, Language Server Protocol (LSP) multiplexing, and custom workspace engines requires complex systems programming far beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: A real version requires systems languages like Rust or C++ (similar to Zed or Neovim frontends), GPU-accelerated text rendering (Metal/Vulkan/DirectX via wgpu or Skia), tight integration with terminal pseudo-terminals (PTYs), custom tree-sitter syntax highlighting, and an LSP client orchestration engine. Maintaining sub-millisecond input latency while running language servers and agentic background processes is an intensive systems engineering challenge.
