+1 - i wish it were made in Hugo (which is golang as well and 100x as fast as jekyll).

Is static page generation performance really a thing for you?

It is really nice to be able to see your changes reflected "instantly" rather than having to "wait for a compile". Iteration is great!

Time to install is much faster, bundle install is just so damn slow.

And now that I'm not a ruby dev any more, I don't install a modern ruby on my computer.

Faster page generation makes novel use cases like generating websites to be stored in cloud object storage with function calls actually possible and potentially much cheaper than a CMS like Wordpress. I'm sure there's some CMS POCs out there like that but the landscape is so chock full of plugins and really nontechnical users I can't really see it taking off.

here's the thing - i think the definition of fast is in two different dimensions and both of them count.

One is the generation: i actually run my startup's website on Hugo. There are quite a few pages - including landing pages - and jekll was sloooow.

Second, we have marketing people on windows + mac, dev people on linux. The time taken for someone to setup Hugo on their laptops is 5 minutes: its a single binary.

Jekyll - upwards of 30 minutes after fighting ruby and setting %PATH% variables in windows.
