(This is a resend.)
Lots of earlier HOPL papers are experience writeups relevant to the
question of PL design. (For example, Alan Kay did a great history of
Smalltalk, which talks about more than just the language design itself,
and the language design was influenced by the other things.)

Separate from what's in
Sam’s advice is good. You might be able to find draft versions of ACM HOPL
articles on the authors’ web sites (or likely others who taught from these
articles, because many of these articles appeared before the web and some of
the authors are dead).
In general, I think we lack a design theory
Thanks. Added.
(despite horrible ACM paywall)
Kind regards

I'd add the HOPL proceedings to the mix:
https://hopl4.sigplan.org/track/hopl-4-papers#History-of-HOPL
Where the designers of languages often talk about their motivations, why
they made particular decisions, and what kinds of effects those decisions
seemed to have.
