I greatly enjoyed Douglas Crockford's recent lecture series, particularly the talk which covered the history of programming languages. I'd like to learn about this subject in more detail.
Consider this question language agnostic. I'm not interested in books that teach programming. I'm interested in books which discuss decisions made during the design of one or more languages.

Python is written in C (actually the default implementation is called CPython).
Python is always recommended if you're looking for an easy and even fun programming language to learn first. Rather than having to jump into strict syntax rules, Python reads like English and is simple to understand for someone who's new to programming.
Python. Python undoubtedly tops the list. It is commonly thought of as the best programming language to learn first because it is very approachable. It is a fast, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy programming language that is widely used to develop scalable web applications.
Yes, there are over 300 programming languages, but you don't need to know them all, and you'll find that each language serves a specific purpose (or several). Compared to spoken languages, most are pretty easy to learn. Below are many of the top languages programmers are using.
Following three are IMO the must-read books for any programming langauges junky :)
