Could you build this?

No Building a full-stack web framework in Zig requires deep systems programming, compiler/parser internals for JSX-like syntax, and low-level HTTP/SSR memory management in a young, evolving language.

What it would actually take: A developer needs extensive knowledge of Zig's manual memory management, comptime metaprogramming, and standard library. The core challenge involves building a performant HTTP server, an AST parser/transpiler for JSX-like templating, and SSR hydration mechanisms without garbage collection. This requires specialized low-level systems engineering expertise rather than boilerplate web development.
