My first experience with static site generation was with. Jekyll was delightful. I spent almost all of my time writing HTML and CSS, interspersed with Liquid where necessary. I didn't need to think about the engine behind the system. Jekyll _just worked_. I ran into some growing pains when I wanted to add more extensions so I used the opportunity to build my own site generator. My generator was greatly inspired by Preston-Werner. His blog post was a great read on the why behind designs that I am (and many others using many mainstream static generators are) using every day.
