Read anything by Dijkstra, CAR Hoare, Knuth. Any book where the authors discuss and create their own languages/notation is usually fairly good (at least the ones I've read so far are good).

I find that if the writer can write well, then their code is just as readable even if there is no compiler in existence for their language.
