I was actually thinking of Perl with your last example. Lots of syntactic noise but not enough in the more logical places, IMO.
Gotta throw that qualifier on the the end there, because you're right. They all suck in various ways, and some people like the suck. I know a guy who hates Python's enforced indentation, and to me that's one of the language's positives.

try writing a Python program as a participant in a shell pipeline, as you might with awk or sed.
Yeah, don't do that. I know it's possible, because I've done it, but there's usually a better solution.
