Could you build this?
No A declarative flat-parsing engine using Structure of Arrays (SoA) and avoiding AST allocations is a specialized compiler/parsing research endeavor focused on low-level memory efficiency.
What it would actually take: This requires deep systems programming and compiler architecture expertise (typically in Rust, C, or Zig) using data-oriented design. The parser must map grammar rules into flat contiguous index buffers without allocating tree nodes, requiring bespoke cache-friendly memory management and formal language parsing theory.
