Could you build this?

No A pure-Go renderer that parses and lays out both TeX and Typst math requires deep typesetting knowledge, including OpenType MATH metrics and two complex grammars, which vibe coding will not reliably produce.

What it would actually take: The architecture is a parser per language producing a shared math AST, then a layout engine using font metrics (OpenType MATH tables) and a drawing backend. The hard parts are faithful TeX box-and-glue layout and matching Typst's semantics, which needs typesetting engineers and extensive test corpora to validate correctness.
