Very nice. A parallel, I've been working on an emulator project recently, implementing my own disassembler, and I keep thinking about how I would turn patterns of machine code into a generalized form, which could then be turned into something like C-like pseudo-code, so it's been really compelling me lately to implement my own toy decompiler

BinaryNinja does this. They have several layers of intermediate representations[1], which they build their compiler on top of. Ghidra does something similar with their PCode. They disassemble to PCode and then decompile the PCode[2].
