Hi,
Well, another way to stand on the shoulders of giants is to use the work of
those giants to build up your own.

Both Knuth and Wirth use the approach of a language of their own design

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.

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

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,
