Could you build this?

No Creating a Rust-based GPU computing stack comparable to CUDA requires low-level compiler construction, hardware architecture expertise, and deep GPU driver interactions.

What it would actually take: Developing RUDA requires Rust, LLVM/MLIR compiler backends, GPU bytecode/ISA generation (PTX, SPIR-V, or AMD GCN), and custom runtime memory managers for device-to-host transfers. Building this requires specialized compiler engineers and GPU systems programmers with extensive knowledge of hardware microarchitectures and parallel computing runtimes.
