At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.
another good one thats even smaller:

No, plugins are not supported in any meaningful way. With Jekyll I can write "_plugins/foo.rb" and put any code in there, and even monkey-patch core Jekyll code.[1] I can't do this with GoJekyll, because Go doesn't really provide a good mechanism for this.
What it does have is a bunch of optional features that are typically provided by plugins in Jekyll[2], but this is a very different meaning of "plugins" that Jekyll has.
[1]: Whether you should be doing this is a different issue, but I would argue that for a static website builder it's fine, especially since you can just lock the Jekyll version with little downsides, and it doesn't change that often in the first place.

Project mention: Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-06Sounds like any static site generator supporting Markdown will do.
- Jekyll: the OG, but requires a ruby toolchain.
- Hugo: compiles to a single static binary, but you may have to get used to its (Go text/html) templating.
- Zola: also compiles to a single static binary, but uses Jinja-like templating.
- Gozer [^1]: my own, like Hugo, but 1000x simpler. I rolled my own because I wanted something that didn't move under me in the next 10 years and just because it was fun and easy enough to build.
