Static site generator for an idiot who doesn't want to learn a new templating language just to have a blog? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hi,

I'm interested in setting up a small static-site-generator site. Looked at 11ty recently and feel pretty uncomfortable with the amount of javascript and "funny language" churn just to make some html happen.

Do you know of any alternative that's simpler / easier / less complicated dependencies? Or do you have an approach to 11ty that you think I should try?

Thanks in advance for any input, it's appreciated!

But as soon as you do want to customize it, you're stuck learning one of the most esoteric languages that wasn't meant as a joke.

Thanks for the heads up. That feels like the same roadblock I got with 11ty. It ran OK on markdown, but one you dig into how wide the customizations go I couldn't keep up.
