Could you build this?
No Developing an entire game engine alongside a custom scripting language compiler/interpreter and a dedicated IDE requires extensive systems programming and compiler design knowledge.
What it would actually take: This stack requires C# (or C++) for the core rendering/audio/physics loop, an abstract syntax tree (AST) parser/bytecode compiler/runtime VM for the custom scripting language, and an IDE built on Avalonia, WPF, or Electron. The hardest challenges are memory layout, low-latency graphics pipeline integration (DirectX/Vulkan), and writing a debuggable, fast interpreter/JIT. It demands senior graphics engine and compiler engineering expertise.
