I got that, but it's not a good analogy. It's the parser that is to the language what the CPU is to the instruction set

I see your point, but isn't decoder part of implementation for ISA just like compiler, runtime/vm, stdlib and more... are for programming language?

Yeah, I guess neither of them is a great analogy
