Could you build this?
No Porting the TypeScript compiler and type checker to Rust requires deep compiler engineering and language specification knowledge.
What it would actually take: Requires deep understanding of the TypeScript type system, ast structures, semantic analysis, and borrow-checker-compliant compiler design in Rust (similar to oxc or swc). It demands handling hundreds of thousands of edge cases and circular type definitions across massive test suites.
