Look at Python.

1. I have to create an intermediary variable who's *only* function is to act
as an intermediary:
sequence pt
pt = get_position()
x = pt[1]
y = pt[2]
2. I have to use indexes, which are less clear than direct assignment. In
order to get around this, I have to set up constants to make the code more
readable. The *only* reason they exist is because the intermediary variables
exist:
constant X = 1, Y = 2
...
x = pt[X]
y = pt[Y]
3. I have to use indexed sequences, which are slower than numerically typed
variables.
