Could you build this?
No Compiling GHC (Haskell) to WebAssembly alongside the massive OpenCASCADE C++ boundary-representation CAD kernel requires specialized systems engineering and deep compiler toolchain expertise.
What it would actually take: A real build requires compiling OpenCASCADE (OCCT) C++ source to WebAssembly via Emscripten, setting up the experimental GHC WASM backend toolchain, and creating seamless FFI bindings between Haskell and OCCT in a WASM runtime. The developer needs deep systems expertise in C++ CAD kernels, geometric computation algorithms, and Haskell GHC internals.

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