Could you build this?

Partial Implementing a Compose CLI orchestrator for Apple's native container runtime requires deep systems knowledge of Apple's virtualization, APFS, and container socket protocols to coordinate multi-container lifecycles.

What it would actually take: The project is written in Swift using Apple's container framework and virtualization APIs, parsing standard Compose YAML files and translating them into individual container specs. The difficult aspects involve managing isolated container networking, inter-container DNS resolution, shared volumes/bind mounts, and coordinating startup dependencies without Docker's mature daemon infrastructure. This requires deep systems programming experience in Swift and familiarity with macOS Darwin containerization internals.
