I'm sorry, I don't think I understand the first 2 sentences of your response. They seem to say that a language and an implementation of that language are the same thing. Am I correct that this is what they mean? (Apologies if something else was meant) Say we have a language X whose definition says nothing about interpretation or compilation. We also have two implementations of language X, one which is an interpreter, and one which is a compiler. Is X an interpreted language, a compiled language, or something else? Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks for the clarification.
