I feel like this isn't just a case of people intentionally trying to ignore Rust's idioms, but just not knowing how to transfer over their existing knowledge. As someone who's learned over 15 programming languages throughout the years (rookie numbers, I know ;) it was relatively easy for me to learn Rust in about 2 weeks by diving straight into Ray Tracing in One Weekend (my implementation here), but I still feel like not many people could have done that, so I tend to hold off on assuming that they're intentionally trying to misuse Rust.

I always find static site generators a kind of leaky abstraction. They eventually try to abstract nearly the whole functionality of the web stack, and the larger the SSG the more apparent it becomes. But, for obvious reasons, they just cannot abstract all the peculiarities of the web from you.

I write posts in Markdown, use Pandoc to convert `.md` to `.html` and a simple Go script in 200-300 LoC [1] for my https://hirrolot.github.io/.

Looking at the original file, it's an extended Markdown variant that allows raw HTML tags.
