Any features of a programming language that make you say:
  • "Oh wow, you can do that?"
  • "That's super convenient"
  • "What the fuck?"
  • "Why is that allowed?"
  • etc
Additionally any esoteric languages.

Here are some examples:

You can write basically any JavaScript program using just these characters:
[]()!+

This site lets you translate sane javascript into a mess of the above characters that will function identically in your browser:

This is a super basic one, but I have a fondness for it.
C# is basically Java, but the developers made it less gay.
They realized accessors/mutators are kind of retarded, so they made properties.

Rather than creating a private attribute then having a getter and setter, you have this nice shorthand syntax with {get;set;} that does the same thing.
You can also assign custom logic to the getter/setter


There are competitions to write C in the most autistic way possible.

This is my favorite:
"The source code is a circle and the program works by calculating its own area and diameter, and then doing a division to approximate pi"
