I came across a bunch of threads that talked about hidden features or features not widely known in a number of languages, and there's some very interesting things you can do that you probably didn't know about. Check them out.

Probably the most evil "feature" I saw was this despicable line in Python: Pure evil.

Bahaha, that's just mean.

>>> from __future__ import braces
SyntaxError: not a chance (<pyshell#0>, line 1)

... I don't get it.

These are very useful. Very useful.

One feature of PHP I just ran into today is fgetcsv(). It reads a single line from a file, parsing CSV format into an array. Nice and easy.
