Could you build this?
No Building an operating system centered around Elixir requires kernel engineering, custom hardware abstraction layers or unikernel/BEAM VM porting to bare metal, far beyond prompt-driven software development.
What it would actually take: This requires building a custom microkernel or bootable unikernel (such as porting the Erlang BEAM runtime to run bare-metal or on a minimal POSIX layer like seL4 or Linux kernel base). It demands low-level systems engineering in C/Rust/Assembly, memory management, driver interfaces, and deep modifications to BEAM internals.
