And then if you really want to get into the weeds:
R. S. Barton, “A new approach to the functional design of a digital
computer,” Annals of the History of Computing, vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 11–15,
1987.
I don't think things will improve until Knuth writes book #5 and #7.
A history of writing compilers,D.E,Knuth.
found in Compiler techniques B.W. Pollack. page 38.
