Could you build this?
No Porting Doom to Bend 2—a massively parallel functional programming language based on Interaction Combinators—demands expert knowledge of functional graphics algorithms, parallel runtime systems, and Doom internals.
What it would actually take: The engine requires completely rewriting the classic BSP tree rendering pipeline and game state machine into pure immutable interaction nets supported by the HVM2 (Higher-order Virtual Machine) runtime. Developers need deep expertise in parallel graph-reduction theory, interaction combinator compilers, and pure functional software architecture to avoid massive memory blowups and deadlock.
