Clojure logic programming with core.logic (something akin to a sudoku solver https://gist.github.com/swannodette/3217582 is a good example) or using datomic to have a database with a time machine and datalog for queries might be cool (perhaps visualizing the data in the database at arbitrary times in the past). Both don't really have equivalents in other languages. Other things that are hard to achieve in other languages would involve the immutable data structures, concurrency, and macros.
