It's very easy to learn about doing some interesting things.

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/pseudo/

there are ec2 images ready and working, it works as a xen dom0, there's a new firewall (npf) in development that's interesting, etc.

For a time some kind of planetary alignment made it the fastest ruby platform according to a few benchmarks.

build.sh makes it very very easy to cross-compile for arm/mips if you're building an rpi appliance (for example).

Fastest ruby if we disregard Jruby or include it ?
