This journal article discusses the use of usability-related design decisions in programming language design. To address known challenges, the authors present an adaptation of both formative and summative human-computer interaction (HCI) methods to make them more suitable for programming language design.

Doskas, C. (2021). Python programming: Object-oriented programming. ISSA Journal, 19 (2), 44–47.
The article discusses concepts of the object-oriented programming methodology and mentions the use of Python's implementation of polymorphism to create a basic model of a switch and a router. Topics discussed include the history of the evolution of programming and technologies like C++, Java, and Python; information on UNIX Shell, a command line interpreter which able to process Shell scripts producing machine code; and the use of parallelism of a computer language to build a complex system.

An observational study on the maintainability characteristics of the procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. 2020 IEEE 32nd Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T), 1–10. https://doi.org/10.1109/CSEET49119.2020.9206213
This paper presents an observational study that takes an initial step toward answering the question of how the selection of a programming paradigm affects the maintainability of a software system. Furthermore, recent versions of many popular programming languages, have begun to support a hybrid approach of multiple programming paradigms and mixed-paradigm development.
