I haven't read all the works cited, but I might have called the list
`Great Works in Theory of Programming Languages'.  I don't see much
about implementation, history or critiques of programming languages.

  To: 9fans, Jack Johnson

this is $0.02^x, for some x<0.

intersting this rates "pretty great"
	Edsger W. Dijkstra. Go to statement considered harmful. 11(3):147-148, March 1968.

yet this rates "great many great"
	Donald E. Knuth. Structured programming with 'go to' statments. Communications of the ACM, 6(4):261-301, 1974.
