Could you build this?

No Writing a full native creative suite (vector graphics, painting engine, motion design) from scratch in Rust requires deep low-level graphics programming and systems expertise.

What it would actually take: This requires building a custom GPU-accelerated rendering engine (using WGPU, Vulkan, or Skia/Vello), real-time vector path manipulation math (Bézier curve solvers, boolean operations), brush dynamics engines, and timeline animation interpolation. In addition, it involves native Linux windowing (Wayland/X11), memory management, and cross-architecture compilation (ARM64/x86_64). Such a suite demands years of specialized computer graphics, UI framework architecture, and systems engineering.
