Shouldn't there be a lot of previous work on this?

I just skimmed the TOC, and it looks interesting, but where is a survey of existing work?

See "2.6 related works" :-)

Though other comments here have suggested some missing references for Lisp in particular.

Lisp, Smalltalk, Self, and more. Huge body of research that appears nobody pointed out to authors back when this was written (it's a BSc work if I understand correctly, and supervisor should have pointed literature out...)

Good work otherwise :-)
