Could you build this?
No Writing a cycle-accurate hardware emulator in Haskell demands low-level hardware architecture knowledge and timing-accurate digital circuit emulation.
What it would actually take: The system requires an accurate implementation of the Sharp LR35902 CPU opcode set, cycle-exact memory-mapped I/O, LCD PPU pixel pipeline, programmable sound generator (PSG/APU), and cartridge bank switching (MBCs) written in Haskell and compiled to WebAssembly. This requires deep systems architecture knowledge and low-level emulation expertise.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a hardware & robotics tool for Horizontal yet.
