Update on the Bagel Language
Hey thanks! :D
It’s almost all custom (you can see the source on my GitHub https://github.com/brundonsmith/website)
Most of the site is statically generated at startup using regular JS template strings, and then served as static files (cached in-memory) by Express. Posts are written in Markdown, and code blocks are processed into HTML using Prism.
The only dynamic bit is the HN comments, since I want those to stay fresh. My Node server queries the Algolia HN API to get all comments for the top HN link for the post (since there could be more than one), munges the data a bit, renders it as HTML, and then caches it for one minute. Some client-side JS just hits the endpoint and dumps the HTML into the page.
Any rich rendering inside comment bodies, like for code blocks and italics, actually comes directly from HN itself! The content I get has already been processed, though of course the structural content around the comment bodies is custom.
This site is my relaxing project that I tinker with occasionally, so sometimes I over-engineer parts of it a little bit for fun :)

Various ways to include comments on your static site
I wrote some code that 1) finds the most active link to the post on HN, and 2) uses the HN API to pull in and render its comments at the bottom. The site is statically-rendered, but there's a bit of client-side JS that loads the latest comments when you visit the page. Most of the work is done on the back-end; the front-end just grabs the content and drops it in.

Gatsby, Ghost, Hugo, Jekyll or another static site generator?
Hugo even has a disadvantage when it comes to blogs. There is no comment function by default. I therefore additionally use the Isso commenting system.

Using Mastodon to power my blog comments
I just use isso (https://isso-comments.de/). It's simple and elegant, easy to integrate, and just works without requiring people to login/signup, and allows moderation.

Wordpress vs Static site for a new tech blog?
If I were you, I would consider whether a self-hosted solution such as Isso Comment might also be an option. I personally don't like it when my comments are stored at third parties.

How do i setup a personal blog which is also stylist ( example in comment) and what software do i use to get started easily?
I would use one of the static website generators for such a page. I use Hugo myself. If you want a comment function, Isso would be worth a look.
