Andrew Kelley and Ginger Bill discuss the native computing layer, compiler construction, and the boundaries of classical language design.
I talk with Andrew Kelley and Ginger Bill about the position of classical languages in the textual programming paradigm. We talk about what makes a programming system suited to the native computing layer, interfaces for constructing software, visual programming vs visualizations of data, alternative input devices for programming, mapping programs down to the existing C-like tool chains, places to get started with compiler construction, and more.

On “Are there any books/resources on language design (as opposed to implementation)”
I think most of what you're describing comes at a case by case basis. Every PL dev goes about there design process differently, so my best guidance would be to listen to language designers talk about what your describing and make your own inference.

On “Why are we still using text based programming languages (and I'm not thinking about a blueprint-like language)”
I don't have anything of value to add, but coincidentally, I was just listening this podcast featuring Ginger Bill and Andrew Kelley where they touch on non-text-based programming languages: link to this video But be warned, it's a rather long and meandering video.
