Still, in some languages it's easier to write bad code than in other languages. And in other languages it's hard to write maintainable code. It's much harder to write maintainable code in languages like Brainfuck, Ook or Chef (all of which run on Parrot, IIRC), let alone languages like INTERCAL or Befunge, than it is to do so in Perl. OTOH, I believe it's easier to write bad code in Perl than it is in Python. But note that the latter sentence does not imply it's harder to write good maintainable code in Perl that it's in Python.
