Could you build this?
No Forking and restructuring a complex JavaScript/TypeScript runtime like Deno requires deep systems programming expertise in Rust, V8 internals, and asynchronous event loops.
What it would actually take: Requires advanced Rust engineering to interact with V8 isolates (via rusty_v8) and Tokio. The hard part is refactoring and maintaining POSIX/Win32 syscall bindings, the module loader, permissions model, and native web API compatibility without introducing subtle concurrency or memory safety bugs.
