The bit where he made a change to the source code, let it recompile on it's own, got a little alert in the editor when it finished and then had the change apply all without restarting the engine...WOW!
Unity does this now. You can recompile a file while your game is playing in the editor, and the running code is replaced. And I almost never use it -- I should figure out why that is.
