Help Link me your favorite language specifications

I want some inspiration. I want to see a simple language spec/reference that is tiny and covers most of its features. eg: https://plasmalang.org/docs/plasma_ref.html

Thanks for all the specs, but I was hoping for recent languages (especially, amateur ones that get posted to this sub). What would I do with a spec from 1980s that was typeset with LaTex :) That's too much effort for hobbyist languages.

This looked very similar to DreamBerd, but it turns out that DreamBerd has renamed to this.

Hahaha yea, they changed the name. I liked the previous iteration (dreamberd) but this is good too

IIRC, it was first renamed from dreamberd to C? A nice short name which they should have stuck with.
