libcoro VS gutenberg

https://github.com/jbaldwin/liblifthttp

I created a C++17 HTTP client which is backed by curl and libuv (linux only! sorry windows). I think a lot of people have done this or something similar but almost all of the ones I looked at either exposed the curl api directly in some fashion or had extremely weak async support. So my main motivation was extremely easy asynchronous queries for high throughput with a very modern C++ API that has as good as you can get memory safety, or at least as good as modern C++ will let you get. No raw curl calls or api exposed at all. I used to find it extremely difficult to make C++ HTTP calls, now its a real breeze.

My next project is a bit more ambitious: https://github.com/jbaldwin/libcoro/ -- I'd like to make a C++20 HTTP client from the ground up with first class coroutine support, and I'll be using lift as a benchmark to beat performance wise.

Case study 3: Zola

So after shopping around a bit I found a simple, dependency-less static site generator called Zola. The lack of dependencies sounded very attractive after all the headaches trying to update my Gatsby modules. I wanted to give Zola a try and see what tradeoffs I would need to make coming form a React-based framework to this Rust-based generator.

I think you're thinking about Zola: https://github.com/getzola/zola

But yes, if I were to recommend something, it'd be Zola given that there's just one executable that you need to run and there's absolutely no setup required.

If I were to start again from scratch, I'd likely use Zola as SSG (https://www.getzola.org/)

I've used Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for a static project homepage a few years ago to showcase examples with a simple description and a wasm app embedded in the page, it worked perfectly for me and the docs was clear on how to use it. It was very easy to set up along with a GitHub action to automatically update the wasm binaries when needed. It is definitely a tool I keep in my mental toolbox as a good default.

I'm currently learning https://www.getzola.org/.

It's more manual than idy like but it's gonna be for a small personal and work website so I don't mind much.

It's super fast.

Doesn't seem to fit your use casr but still.
