You can't really make one with "the simplicity of html and the power of C or C++" simply because HTML isn't a language. It's a markup language. But anyways, you'd probably need a good understanding of ASM, to write the compiler.
But you really need a good reason to recreate a language. C# for example really put the simplicity of Java but the power of C++ to reality.

Well, I'm trying to learn C++ and DirectX 9.0 on my own, so I can begin work on a basic engine for a game. I'm learning that it is not that easy. I'm also using Bloodshed C++ Dev, as my utility.
I can do basic "Hello World" programs... that's about it.
Any help in furthering myself into more advanced topics would be appreciated! Unless, I CAN develop my own language...

how can we develop a compiler for a programming language?
in fact, i am really impressive of those who can develop such powerful programming language such as Java, C#, C++ or even C.
what are the basic steps for doing that?

thank you

Ok, there is absolutly NO WAY you will hurry up the process. First you will need to learn C++ in depth, then learn directX. I won't lie to you, it will take you a long time before you know how to write a game engine.
The only way you might speed the process up at all is to learn C#...because c# is easy, and just as powerful as C++, and can also use DirectX.
Even if you do choose to learn C#, it will still be a good few months, possibly year or so, before you're writing a game engine. And to create your own language capable of using directx you would have to FULLY understand directx, C++, and a simple language. To do that, it would honestly take you YEARS to do.
Don't rush it, you'll get there when you get there. Good luck
