I’ve worked on projects where Hugo was the chosen tool and I may be missing the forest for the trees but when I encountered the templating syntax I considered it a red flag. Like “this is horrendous, but these people seem to just accept it - I wonder what other painful surprises await me down the line?”. And while it’s build-speed is impressive, I’m of the mindset that if your site is large enough that build-speed is a genuine concern, rebuilding your site every time you make a change is a bad idea, and perhaps a dynamic tool is a better fit for the job.
