This should not be commented – anyway:
I am totally fascinated that so many people invest so much time, effort and knowledge – mostly in their free time.
I am not a programmer, but understanding Hugo is feasible. Hugo’s complexity is rather functionality . All in all I prefer generating a slim website with a super fast single binary SSG over dozens of MB of PHP scripts and plugins or tens of thousands of JS files. But it’s a matter of taste.
When I read some GitHub issues I sometimes don’t even understand what the guys are talking about. Programming is just not my profession. But this is not coder elitism – it’s just necessary technical vocabulary.
Hugo is a generous offer. If it is not the right instrument for you you don’t have to use it.
So – thank you very, very much, guys.
