I really liked the reactive pattern, so one of the best static site generators I found was docpad. It used (backbone?) collections, so you could subscribe to changes on things like "new files under this path" and then rerender the part of the page that needed to change. I haven't seen this done in others. Then docpad was rewritten in ES6, and I lost all love for it. Things were so expressively concise in Coffeescript.
- impoppy 4y agoIt's kind of ironic and uncool that DocPad's website is made using GitBook.
- thrwawy74 4y agoThe author is a pretty interesting guy, but I just didn't want to follow him into ES6 land. Coffeescript is still the ranking king on concision, and so many features didn't make it in. I'm going to be sad when I can't support the transpile in my projects anymore :(
