Typst, a modern alternative to LaTeX, is now open source
But, if you really hate yourself and the self-flagellation doesn’t suit your fancy, you can find a primer on the basics of programming in LaTeX here: https://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/ (look for the technical papers) I did the solving part the most basic, brute force way possible—it was already obnoxious enough. Modern computers are fast enough for even the LaTeX to come up with a solution in a reasonable time frame (still, think minutes, not seconds). I’m sure somebody who actually cares about such things will be able to point you towards something much more sane, but that unfortunately won’t be me.

Is it worth it to learn programming for someone who wants to pursue a degree in mathematics?
You’ve clearly either not read the source code for any complex LaTeX package or haven’t understood it. Your criterion is ‘data structures and algorithms’? Well, here’s a data structure, and I’m sure if I dig around for a couple of minutes I can find an algorithm. The PGFPlots maintainer has the package on his resumé, and he has a job. Even if he didn’t, that’s clearly an unnecessary criterion. You’re unlikely to be hired on the basis of your MACRO-11 knowledge. That doesn’t stop it being programming.
