It's been quite a long time, reading about the origins of the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, absolutely no one gives a justified derivation of the canonical commutation relations, even heuristic ideas about the origins of representing the position and the momentum as operators ( or matrices in Heisenberg's paper)..taking in account the amount of the litterature on the subject, this seems quite weird. Is it really that complicated to understand the motivation or the ideas behind Heisenberg first papers on quantum theory? Any help about this would be greatly appreciated.

Does no one know where the canonical commutation relations come from?
