Could you build this?
No Building a domain-specific compiler with tensor IR representations, polyhedral loop transformations, and explicit GPU/hardware scheduling is a hardcore compiler engineering problem.
What it would actually take: The project requires an AST/intermediate representation (IR) supporting tensor operations, an explicit scheduling language (similar to Halide or TVM), loop tiling/vectorization algorithms, and backends lowering to LLVM or CUDA/SPIR-V. Implementing this demands deep expertise in compiler architecture, polyhedral compilation theory, GPU microarchitecture, and memory hierarchy optimization.

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