There's a lot of me-too software out there, and honestly I wish that developers would just be more candid about their goals.
What is this really? A state site engine with no dependencies... but is it? ...or is that just one of the things it is? If one had more plainly said "a static site engine written in Rust" then maybe it would be more compelling to at least one particular ecosystem.
I just don't understand the selling point unless you're completely candid. Hugo is; it doesn't even pretend to be something it's not. It directly sells to people who invest in Go. And Jekyll has a powerful stance as being integrated with platforms like GitHub. What's the pitch here?
- Keats 9y agoWhy would an end user care which language the tool is made with? The only times it matters is if they want to contribute or if it requires you to install their toolchain, which is not the case here.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoIt definitely has a larger impact with language ecosystems like Rust's and Go's.
