Could you build this?
No Adobe Illustrator is an industry-standard desktop vector graphics suite built on decades of proprietary computational geometry, typography, and vector rendering engines.
What it would actually take: It requires low-level systems programming (C++/Rust) utilizing GPU-accelerated 2D vector rendering engines (such as Skia or custom GPU bezier rasterizers), complex computational geometry algorithms (boolean curve operations, Bézier curve offset algorithms, path simplifications), and extensive PostScript/PDF export conformance. The hardest parts are sub-pixel curve rasterization performance, memory-efficient spatial indexing of massive vector documents, and advanced font layout/OpenType engines, requiring specialized computational geometry and graphics engineering teams.
