AWK

I’ve used awk in the middle of many a one-liner, but it never occurred to me that it could be used as a programming language.

Lots of fun tidbits about the syntax and functionality in this post. The section about $ used as an operator most caught my attention — you could write some pretty obfuscated scripts with that.
