Perhaps it's


Hints on Programming Language Design
C. A. R. Hoare
Stanford University, Computer Science Department
TR CS-73-403, December 1973


It was reprinted in an IEEE collection


Tutorial: Programming Language Design
Edited by Anthony Wasserman
IEEE Catalog Number EHO 164-4


There's probably another version, but I can't find it.




Very practical stuff. Emphasis on simplicity and ease of
implementation.
