I disagree. Python was a good example of that when it was Python 1.5.

Modern Python 3.5 is a Perl-style nightmare of special cases, weird sigils, ridiculous primitive types needed because of legacy reasons, inconsistent standard libraries and everything else that comes with being a 'serious' language.
