i think that item alone could have carried the keynote. anyone else as psyched about it as i am? and all that other cool progamming stuff i could only read about in the void of a live stream. live recompiling (did i get that right?). its all so kewl.

Oh HELL Yes.
The Xcode was the part that had me just quivering... makes .NET look so... so... *20th century*.

slow down there - .NET has a LOT going for it that apple has not addressed - not to mention that there have been distributed compiling solutions on the PC for years (for one, see Xoreax Incredibuild)... none the less, XCode has me excited... lets see what else comes out of WWDC.
that was impressive.
BTW, ditibuted compiling has been available for some time. It's called distcc (for gcc) and I've used it on my three powerbooks (two wallstreets and one Tibook) to get gentoo linux up and running fast. It's a daemon (background process) that listen to the network for compile jobs. You can set which hosts are used for the compile.
There's a law of diminishing returns (network overhead and all), but you get surprising;y good returns.
type 'distcc' into a search engine. Great stuff!
Mmmm... PMG5 compile farms...
*drool*
The entire dynamic 'fix and compile' thing sent my little academic heart aflutter, since this is the sort of thing we've been eager to see for years, and *finally* someone's gone and done it in a system that doesn't cost several thousand per seat. Maybe, just maybe, we'll see widespread adoption of ideas and techniques that we in the ivory towers have been waiting for for years.

Yeah, I know distributed compiles are available on other platforms, but this is the first I've seen that's free *and* easy to set up. Nice.

yea, this really is a kick-ass feature, however - this too has been available in a number of interpreted languages (some compatible with cocoa/obj-c) for quite a while... lets see how well it has been done with c/c++, obj-c, and obj-c++ - I could imagine that perfect execution (no pun intended) of this would be difficult...

Yeah, ditto. Compiling on-the-fly is way cool.

i was quite unaware of that. thank you. it was pretty easy to setup too. now, i wonder if i can set it up to work with project builder (i presume i can).
