I've been using static site generators a lot for client work over the last two years. I started off with Jekyll, but unless you are having under 100 pages, the build process gets painfully slow (trust me, I have micro-optimised). I've since started using http://gohugo.io http://gohugo.io It's lightning fast with 1000s of pages, and quite easy to pick up.

go templates are not nestable. Hugo lacks support for pongo nested templates, and refuses to include it.

I tried both Hugo and node.js-based Metalsmith[0] for a new version of my personal website that I launched just about a month ago. Ended up choosing Metalsmith because of its super minimalist everything is a package approach, but Hugo looked super nice too. What I like about Metalsmith is you build you own workflow. A basic installation does nothing but copy files from the source directory to the destination directory. I'm working on a beginner's guide to Metalsmith right now, in fact!
