Comment on An introduction to static site generators

Comments

The most strange (but interesting) static site generator I’ve ever seen is: http://mearie.org/about/mearie#technical-detail . It uses Apache’s mod_negotiation very well to support internationalized contents. (That site provides English, Korean and Japanese version for most contents.) You can read the source code from here: http://hg.mearie.org/mearie.org/current

I am the author of that website, and I must say that that's basically a huge mess with Makefile, Apache, Mako, Pandoc and Mercurial. ;) They served me well however, and with services like Disqus I think most personal websites can be made of static contents entirely. (Well, I do not use Disqus but I do use Tumblr with a theme synchronized to my main website.) Someday I'll try to package my solution, but that is an another story...

wow that is strange. i like the mako teplating though.
