I don't want a fucking blog

so i just re-discovered haml and i really want to use it because writing raw html is abysmal and makes me want to die

but for some reason no one wants to support it

• there's something called middleman that seems to be abandoned and doesn't really support it
• i don't really need templating, just the ability to quickly skip all the bs
• haml has a built-in compiler but it only does one file at a time iirc

and most importantly

• every single static site generator nowadays is meant for blogs

perhaps it's always been that way. every day i curse the grip wordpress has had on web development. but i just want to make a stupid lil web maze. i Do Not Want A Blog.

so. i think i've found the right thing for me? enter zola. it has markdown and templating but is more freeform than a simple CMS.

• stuff i like:
  • rust my beloved
  • simple af
  • static pages
  • reminds me of jinja2 templating
• stuff i don't like:
  • markdown isn't my favorite anymore. i am an orgmode boi.
  • iunno lol
