Could you build this?
No Writing a DEX/APK decompiler from scratch in Rust requires deep compiler theory, bytecode disassembling, control-flow graph reconstruction, and type inference.
What it would actually take: Developing a Dalvik decompiler requires implementing a binary parser for DEX/ODEX file structures, converting Dalvik bytecode instructions into an intermediate representation (IR), constructing Control Flow Graphs (CFG), performing Static Single Assignment (SSA) transformations, and executing structural pattern analysis to restore high-level Java control structures (loops, try-catch blocks) and inferred types.
