I’ll try to find it later, I read he said that in a book from Martin Davis

Fair, I’m mostly just curious what high level languages were around at the time given how early this was in the history of programming. A quick search did not turn up helpful results.

Oh, it probably wasn’t about an existing language, but about some guy studying what would become high level languages. Like studying linkers and symbolic representation of programs
