Could you build this?
No Developing an archive utility engine like 7-Zip requires deep algorithmic expertise in lossless data compression, low-level C/C++ memory management, and LZMA/LZMA2 implementation.
What it would actually take: Building a full 7-Zip replacement requires implementing core LZMA/LZMA2 compression and decompression algorithms in optimized C/C++ or Rust with SIMD acceleration. It also requires parsing multiple container formats (7z, ZIP, TAR, RAR, XZ), multi-threading chunk distribution, and low-level cross-platform file system IO handling.
