"Static site generators seem like music databases, in that everyone eventually writes their own crappy one that just barely scratches the itch they had (and I'm no exception)." [1] (And neither am I!) See this massive list of static website generators [2], though it, too, probably barely scratches the surface. My homepage is static and generated in raw PHP. Being originally a templating language, I found it well suited to static generation, even without any framework or tool on top of it. This especially applies if you don't need a lot of "common" features, and have some other specific requirements (in my case, I mainly needed pjax with non-pjax fallback, which keeps the music playing while changing pages - surprisingly badly supported by existing generators).
