   All,   
      
   I'm looking for PhD thesis or books covering the history of   
   popular, or once popular languages (not edited   
   collections of papers on different languages).   
      
   I know of one such, for CHILL:   
   https://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui/handle/11250/94362   
      
   I have done the obvious searches on Fortran, Cobol   
   and APL.  There are plenty of papers, but no thesis   
   or books.   
      
   There is also Mark Priestly's Phd:   
   "LOGIC AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES, 1930–1975"   
   markpriestley.net/pdfs/phd.pdf   
      
   Pointers welcome.
