Yes, there are a TON of existing static site generators out there, I know. I'd like to learn a new language/toolset and think a static site generator would be a fun project. Ideally the language would have good templating/macro/pre-processing support. It also can't be golang since that is my preferred language already.I'd also like to stay away from the more common languages like Python and JavaScript.<p>Initially I was thinking of just playing around with M4, but that is kind of boring haha. Maybe a lisp? C? Awk+sed haha.<p>Just looking for a fun holiday project<p>EDIT:
Here are a few I stumbled across the other day that I thought were pretty neat:<p>https://github.com/datagrok/makebakery

Haskell? Raku (former Perl 6)?<p>FWIW, I wrote a static site generator [0] in Perl and in Python. Both are single file programs that generate the same output given the same input, which was a challenge in itself.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog</a>
