What is the problem with using high-level programming languages to represent algorithms?

What will be an ideal response?

As an algorithmic design language, this notation is also seriously flawed. During the initial phases of design, we should be thinking and writing at a highly abstract level. Using a programming language to express our design forces us to deal immediately with detailed language issues, such as punctuation, grammar, and syntax. These technical details clutter our thoughts and at this point in the solution process are totally out of place. When creating algorithms, a programmer should no more worry about semicolons and capitalization than a novelist should worry about typography and cover design when writing the first draft.
