Could you build this?
No Writing a custom programming language compiler and standard library requires deep specialized expertise in compiler architecture, type systems, AST parsing, and code generation.
What it would actually take: A production compiler requires implementing lexical analysis, an AST parser, type checking, semantic analysis, intermediate representation (IR) optimizations, and backend code generation (often via LLVM or custom bytecode VM) alongside a runtime library. It demands specialized knowledge in programming language theory, memory management, and platform ABIs.
