Tcl is also quite extensible. It has *very* few syntax rules but looks a lot like C.

C:
    for (int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++) {
        char c = str[i];
        if (isupper(str[i])) {
            printf("%c\n", str[i]);
        }   
    }   

Tcl:
for {set i 0} {i < [string len $str]} {incr i} {
    set c [string index $str i]
    if {[string is upper $c]} {
        puts $c
    }
}

or

foreach c [split $str {}] {
    if {[string is upper $c]} {
        puts $c
    }
}
