Could you build this?
No Creating a self-hosting compiler for a specialized parallel functional language (Bend/HVM) requires theoretical computer science expertise in compiler architecture, type systems, and interaction combinators.
What it would actually take: Building a self-hosting Bend compiler requires implementing an AST parser, lexer, type checker/inference engine, optimization passes, and a code generator targeting Higher-Order Virtual Machine (HVM) interaction nets, all written in Bend itself. This demands deep academic/systems expertise in functional programming compilers, lambda calculus, and massive parallelism.
