So, I've published a static site generator, as one does.
https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/gen_site
Unique points:
- Lua and only Lua
- no Markdown, you have to edit HTML
A couple of years ago I ripped out my old Rails site and replaced it with static html cobbled together with some scripts. Many thanks to nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqz5zc3zl8fy7727su0nuffk99tryspql928utrhj7u3w39zt22uhqkjqdpu (nprofile…qdpu) for nudging me to find some reusable core in it.
I always assumed there'd be a zillion SSGs in any language, but surprisingly I can't find more than a couple in #Lua. If you like one please share.
