Could you build this?
No Bend is a novel massively parallel programming language that compiles to interaction combinators on multicore CPUs and GPUs, requiring deep theoretical PL research.
What it would actually take: Building Bend requires deep expertise in programming language theory, interaction nets/combinators, compiler architecture, and CUDA/GPGPU systems programming. The stack is implemented in Rust with specialized low-level runtimes (HVM) to evaluate non-deterministic graph rewrite rules across distributed GPU threads without thread locking or traditional garbage collection.
