blogging analysis paralysis: hakyll, hugo

[dckc]

I'm kinda scared of my python site builder now.

inspired by nix, I tried hakyll. The demo site was fine, but I got "cannot find $date$" for my 1st entry. And it stopped there; didn't even try to render any other pages. I thought about writing some haskell to update the page metadata, but... well... I miss tracebacks.

Plus ./site is ~47MB.

Next: giving hugo another try.

trying out zola: Jinja2 templates don't "just work" as Tera templates

Zola is written in Rust. The source uses ambient authority all over, as is typical :-/ I'm interested to port it to cap-std.

Zola uses the Tera template engine, which is "similar to Jinja2" but trying to use my Jinja2 templates as-is gives quite a few errors:

lots of errors from `zola serve`

```console $ zola serve Building site... Error: Failed to serve the site Error: Error parsing templates from the /templates directory Error: Reason: * Failed to parse "/home/connolly/projects/mm-z/mm-up/templates/archives.html" --> 10:12 | 10 |

rust cap-std is a small neighborhood

... I'm interested to port it [Zola] to cap-std.

The Zola sources seemed like a manageable size, but of course they're the tip of an iceberg; underneath this one line...
