I disagree; it's possible to write programs with planning and forethought in any language, and even simple languages like Python have much higher average quality code.
I think it's a matter of culture, which is reflected in the language itself and in the community that surrounds it and writes code samples and OSS software.
I don't think it's a matter of culture so much as a matter of scale. It's the same with most web communities, the quality of the community tends to go down as the membership increases.
