Could you build this?

No Re-implementing a full vector design and prototyping suite in pure Rust with real-time CRDT multi-user collaboration and graphics rendering requires deep systems, 2D graphics engine, and distributed systems expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires high-performance Rust graphics programming (e.g., using wgpu or Skia), custom vector network geometry engines, layout algorithms (similar to Yoga/Flexbox), and CRDT-based operational sync over WebSockets for multi-user editing. A team of seasoned systems and graphics engineers is required to achieve Figma-like performance and fidelity.
