  I have happily used Zola for the last ~2+ years. I'm migrating because I wanted to use asciidoctor instead of markdown, and hugo has better support. However I have to maintain a custom fork to get custom params to the asciidoc renderer, and to support asciidoc-diagrams. As far as I'm aware Rust has no good asciidoc crate so I would have to shave the yak and write my own implementation. Yuk. Zola and Hugo are very similar in features, except for i18n. For most people this isn't an issue, and it's being worked on for Zola. Also, Zola is written in Rust and Hugo in Go, so one might be more comfortable extending / forking one over the other. You can check out many Zola examples here [0] and the source code for my website here [1].
