that's something I've been looking for a long while and the only places where I find it is usually on interviews from programming language creators who have been successful and talk about the topic tangentially, but I've seen no book on the ergonomics of programming language design. Some common resources which I already identified are the talk simple made easy[1] or the famous everything is an X[2] which was here in HN a few days ago. Also a common problem I see, is that many scholars and intellectual people confuse what the meaning of "semantic" is. For example they might mistake "semantic" with "meaning" and do not understand as semantic problem collapsing two different variables in a single variable (e.g. the classic "0 means unlimited" like some old C programs did). If you do find a resource, just let me know, but I hope there is more on the topic beyond using a regular math model, just for the sake of uniformity, and try to make everything "as easy as possible" based on a gut feeling.
