Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic treemap UI is simple, but building a high-performance 2D/3D zoomable GPU code-city visualizer in Rust with Makepad requires low-level graphics and shader programming expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires Rust, Makepad, custom GPU shaders (WGSL/Metal/Vulkan), and AST parsing (such as tree-sitter) to transform codebase metrics into 3D geometric meshes with spatial partitioning (octrees/BVH) for 60fps smooth zooming. The hard part is writing custom GPU rendering pipelines and layout algorithms for massive hierarchical datasets without dropping frames.
