It's calling an external code validator while you are editing source  
code. Some people tend to find this annoying, others find it really  
useful.

I would be interested to know if such a thing is possible in TextMate:  
Essentially one has to repeatedly and asynchronously call a matching  
external validator after each edit (whereby one has to define what to  
count as "an edit", the most extreme strategy would be after every  
keystroke, but this could lead to too much load).

Sure, I am aware of e.g. PyCheckMate. flymake just uses tools like  
pyflakes or gcc to do the actual code validation, but you don't have  
to explicitly invoke it and – maybe more important – you don't have to  
remember to do it.
