Agreed, so there are parts of the implementation of that language that are orthogonal to some other parts and parts that arent. But aspects of the language created will be orthogonal with respect to others depending on how they are used.

To me what you just said is "Designing a truck is just another problem. Fords and GMs are just two solutions..."

Again maybe ive missed something but you havent explained what it is.... :-)

Hmm, on reflection maybe people mean

Language X has more features that are orthogonal with respect to its other features than language Y.

Is that what you mean?
