    All,

    What is the earliest detailed description of the
    workings of a compiler?

    One from 18 April 1958
    Internal Translator (IT) A compiler for the 650 http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/650/CarnegieInternalTranslator.pdf

    There were lots of compilers by 1957, but where is their
    internal documentation? https://shape-of-code.com/2017/05/21/evidence-for-28-possible-compilers-in-1957/
