Hugo

My favorite Static Site Generators
A note by Andrey Akinshinstatic site generator.

Advantages

• Super fast and convinient
• Very powerful and customizable
• Decent management of the content

Disadvantages

• Go templates are great for simple templating, but they become a nightmare when you need to do something complex
  • For custom logic, it feels reasonable to use additional preprocessing tools
• Syntax highlighting via Chroma
