Could you build this?
Partial Writing a toy MongoDB shell in Go is straightforward, but fully replicating mongosh requires complete wire-protocol support, BSON typing nuances, an embedded JS engine/REPL environment, and broad MongoDB ecosystem compatibility.
What it would actually take: Requires embedding a JavaScript runtime (like Otto or Goja) to maintain JS evaluation semantics, integrating the official MongoDB Go driver, and implementing full BSON spec compatibility and shell helper commands. The hard part is the long tail of mongosh command parity and interactive terminal UX (autocomplete, syntax highlighting).
