There are a few things, nicely covered in "Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming" by Van Roy and Heridi [0]. Briefly:
1. First-class dataflow variables
2. Syntax for creating flows (c/f pipe in *nix shell)
3. Transparent parallelisation
All of these things exist in libraries of various sorts, but can feel cumbersome compared to native syntax.
