Both Knuth and Wirth use the approach of a language of their own design
to teach algorithms (and more). Cesar, like Newton, will see far by
standing on the shoulders of giants.

The original post said the goal is to teach algorithms, not programming
language design. So for teaching algorithms I'd have to agree that using a
custom language is not the best choice. For teaching how to write a
programming language, then of course you want to learn how to create your
own.

Subject: Re: [sqlite] Script Language
It is not reinventing the wheel to develop the knowledge and skill to
design an effective language then to implement it effectively. This is
an admirable project which will leave its young developer "loaded for bear".

The main
goal is to provide a easy way to script commons actions, and to teach

The language have syntax as PHP and Python
I wonder why you're not using one of these ?
Looks to me you're reinventing the wheel,
while with a lot less effort you could give a better wheel a nice color
;-)
cheers,
