Why You Should Write Your Own Static Site Generator
I fully support the idea that writing your own SSG can be not only a great learning experience, but also a chance to make your SSG do exactly what you want it to (and nothing more).
I've written a ton of little SSGs over the years, and every iteration I've learned what kind of features I really need, and which I don't.
When I started working on the current version of my personal website (istigkeit.xyz), I also wrote a new SSG just for it. The program is called Hyphae[1], and it's written in Ruby using the Kramdown markdown gem, and pretty much nothing else outside the stdlib. It works perfectly for me, and that's all that matters (that being said, the code is up there, and licensed with the Unlicense, so anyone who finds it useful is free to use and abuse my clumsy code to whatever extent they want).
I'm a big proponent in the idea of writing personal software: that is, programs that are made by you, for you, and with no expectation that they'll be used by anyone else. I think too often developers these days get caught up in trying to make their project be "the next big thing" in whatever domain it serves, but honestly sometimes it's nice to just write something for yourself :)
