Could you build this?
No Building an actor-model runtime, multicore execution engine, custom standard library, and package toolchain in OCaml requires deep systems programming and compiler expertise.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires writing an asynchronous multicore I/O scheduler and actor system using OCaml 5's effect handlers and multicore domain primitives. It also requires developing a dedicated CLI toolchain (build system, test runner, fuzzing harness with AFL/libFuzzer integration) and a package registry infrastructure. This demands specialized domain knowledge in runtime systems, concurrency theory, and the OCaml ecosystem.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
