Frequently, the Rust language design team publishes recordings of their meetings which are great resources in my opinion.
They are faced with designing large features (async/await, compile-time execution, const generics, inline assembly, specialization, bottom/never type) considering their
edge cases, integration with other parts of the language, backwards compability and every so often with difficult bugs like soundness holes inside the type system.
Even if the videos are long and from time to time a bit unstructured, I think one can learn a lot about pragmatic language design. Although I have to say that for
