A few months ago I tried my hand at this because it had some better defaults. Also, I didn't like camel case variables everywhere in Hugo. Then, I gave up when I realised that Zola does not even allow YAML config files. Nit picks everywhere..
- southerntofu 6y agoHey there's some healthy skepticism about YAML on zola's side. In particular, the maintainer believes encouraging people to use a broken/dangerous (in terms of remote-code execution in some implementations) serialization format is not a good idea, even though Rust YAML parser is safe from that. There's also a concern for maintenance: maintaining the zola codebase to support more serialization formats is more work. If more contributors get involved regularly, it will be less of a problem. In fact, zola started supporting YAML frontmatter for compatibility reasons lately, but it's explicitly stated in the docs this is not the recommended/supported way to do things.
