[Feature/swift automation] So I wrote a pure Swift static site generator without any dependencies.

[terhechte]

I had a bit of free time as I had to endure two ~5hour train rides. So I wrote a pure Swift static site generator without any dependencies.

This automates most of the creation of the site.

New show notes entries can now be created in the entries/ folder (see existing sample for episode 1 for the syntax) as a .bacf format (benedikt’s awful configuration format). Afterwards, running

masse ./config.bacf

Will generate the website. Note that mass is a single-file pure swift static site generator without any external dependencies except for Foundation and Swift 4.2.

Caveats

• It may run under Linux, it may not run under Linux. Who knows these days
• I could not validate the generated feed.rss due to the lack of an internet connection. That’s a TODO.
• I will probably move masse in its own repository at some point in order to allow for continuous improval without touching the contra variance site.

Sounds good!
