That's how I got my start. After TI-BASIC, Z80 assembly was the second programming language I learned, at age 12. It turned out to be a great foundation. For one thing, it was fairly easy to understand, from a syntactic perspective. Secondly, it gave me a much better foundation for understanding the lower-level aspects of C, letting me concentrate more on understanding the more complicated abstractions, and what they actually represent.

Nothing's on their website yet... I guess HN is pretty fast...

They (FreeBSD) typically do builds a few days before announcing the release. See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/schedule.html

Very interesting, and completely described in the PDF thesis on their website!
