They are particularly bad at complex multiline parsing. Writing all sorts of weird/crude python/awk scripts and getting confused in the process.
I wish they would use Perl6/Grammer or Haskell/Parsec or similar and write better parsing scripts.
Perl6/Raku has built in grammers that can do that idiomatically.
If you have a couple minutes, give this a glance. It will give you an idea.

I am no expert in haskell either. But parsec is similar in concept.
