Speaking as a newbie (python and R mostly) who just wants the blogging software to blog, I use Jekyll because it’s the default choice. Yes there are python options but I don’t want to program the software - my programming energy is already spoken for.
I don’t care about the speed differential.
However if Hugo is actually easier somehow, well that would be tempting.
- hnarayanan 8y agoIt is significantly easier to setup because (in typical Go style) only requires you to download and install a single fat binary. You do not need to do what you're otherwise doing with the likes of Jekyll which involve a significant Ruby environment alongside to function. I've been using it for over two years, and this is the thing I like most about it. In addition: * Yes, it's super fast. * It allows for clean layout of code with different layouts for different sections: e.g. https://github.com/hnarayanan/harishnarayanan.org https://github.com/hnarayanan/harishnarayanan.org * It's got a really friendly community for support.
- nyolfen 8y agoas someone with relatively rudimentary skills who tried and failed two or three times to get jekyll working on a throwaway vps, hugo is indeed very, very easy.
