Now, writing a compiler/interpreter from the ground up is a more
valuable experience, but does it really matter if the language is the
same one you wrote the compiler in? It gets harder the more
complicated the syntax and semantics of the language are, but, say,
python 1.0 would probably be a suitable goal for coursework.

I'd pick mini-python plus basic classes:
