(You might want to look at The Psychology of Computer Programming, written before most of these languages were invented, or their inventors were even born. This book has only one major purpose—to trigger the beginning of a new field of study: computer programming as a human activity, or in short, the psychology of computer programming. The Psychology of Computer Programming: Silver Anniversary Edition by Gerald M. Humans are strange creatures who behave in odd ways sometimes. Researchers in Sweden have created a computer program that can score 150 on standard non-verbal IQ test questions by modeling human problem-solving psychology. Weinberg has spent the last 50 years transforming software organisations, and has co-authored many books, including The Psychology of Computer Programming and the Quality Software Management series.

It is a fantastic resource if you are trying to compare programming the end, anything not worth doing is not worth doing fast. The above explains why Gerald Weinberg, in The Psychology of Computer Programming (written in the 1970s, and still applicable), states that if a programmer becomes indispensable, you should fire him immediately.
