This is great, a really nice way of sharing snippets. It's not the prettiest site, and it's a shame the Gistify button tries to load a popup (Which Chrome blocked), but the idea is really useful. And integrating with Github can only be a plus (Wouldn't mind seeing even deeper integration, user accounts or listing forks etc.)

One of the things that makes jsfiddle somewhat more useful is ability to play with Canvas and SVG from browser. Is it just me or when you make an interpreter run in the browser without any visual elements the whole thing appears a bit meh.

Agreed that JSFiddle is one of the coolest things ever... This is more about the backend code and showing off Ruby.

Is there any security mechanism, which not allow execute external commands (for example `rm -Rf *`)?

With the source code open it wouldn't be too hard to exploit this to do just about anything. Sure you could the same with a free Heroku instance but this lets you do it anonomously. Not that I would do such things but when I see these kinds of apps I wonder how they could be made more secure.
