That concept of "strange consistency" reminds me of my experience writing Clojure, for some reason.

Nil punning in Clojure gives you that kind of experience, for example. Things that would break in other languages, just "work as you'd expect them" in Clojure (except when you drop down to host primitives, and then nils don't behave nicely anymore). In general, it makes for a really pleasant dev experience, I find.
