- CSS3D, a fun and easy way to make 3D scenes / games in the browser without WebGL. To my knowledge, we are about 5 people to use it (https://xem.github.io/articles/css3dgames.html)

- JS code-golfing... I'm not alone but we're a small community, who enjoy making JS programs / art / games with the smallest possible amount of code (js1k.com, js13kgames.com, dwitter.net, ...)

- Unicode, its quirks, its updates (not only emoji), its encodings and its predecessors charsets

- Regexes (everyone hates them but I enjoy using them)

- Browsers hacks and polyfills (remember IE6? Firefox 3? Chrome 1? With enough effort, you could make them do almost everything that modern browsers can do today. My job has been to do exactly that for many years, and it was actually pretty fun)
