- weberc2 2y agoYeah, they're actually simple enough that they're kind of a perfect way to learn a new language... You get to try something that is pretty familiar (transforming some source files into some destination files), small enough that you can actually build the thing in a weekend, and big enough that it isn't just a toy program--it will give you a tour through the standard library, the build tooling, the package management / ecosystem, etc. You can also use it to play around with different programming paradigms--I recently rewrote mine from Rust to Go and played around with a maximally parallel architecture (what I thought would be a fun throw-away experiment quickly became my production SSG): https://blog.weberc2.com/posts/efficient-ssg-with-csp.html https://blog.weberc2.com/posts/efficient-ssg-with-csp.html
