I just came across this article when hunting for an SSG for my WP blog. I would like to hear others’ experiences

> It’s quick enough to break your neck. As it says on the proverbial box, the Hugo static site generator is fast. Written in Go, Hugo promises blistering speed that it certainly delivers, and I’ve got all the redness, pain, and burning discomfort...

Are you looking for comments on a five year old article? I doubt that this guy’s experiences at the time are what people experience today.

Talking about GoHugo from 5 years ago is like talking about Window XP as a reason to hate Windows whateverit’sversionisrightnow.

A car only works if you know which one of the pedals makes it move forward.

Not really! But now that you asked, I know who it is…

As a moderator I do my best to curtail trolling. When I see a post like this, created by a new user who has read zero topics, it smells like trolling.

When I then discover that the new user shares an IP address with an existing user, it smells even more like trolling, where one user has created a sock puppet account in an attempt to hide their identity.

That may not be the case here, but we’ve seen similar activity from your IP address in the past. Please help us to keep this forum free of trolls.

Thanks.

The internet service I use is a public wifi with more than 1 million subscribers. 50 of those share an open plan office with me. And 10 of those I work with! Could be anyone!

I understand, and I’m glad you know who the poster is. Perhaps you can draw on your experience and expertise to answer their question offline.
