Could you build this?
No A real programming language with a compiler, standard library, toolchain, and language server requires compiler-design expertise that vibe coding can't reliably provide.
What it would actually take: Building a real version means designing a grammar, a parser, a type checker, and an intermediate representation, then a backend (LLVM or a custom code generator), a standard library, a package manager, and an LSP. This needs experienced compiler and language engineers working over a long period.
