WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
The key idea of soupault is that it works on the HTML element tree level and can automatically call external convertors on pages (based on page file extensions, see [1]), so the input format doesn't matter to it.
You can bring your own convertors and pass any options to them. I'm not saying it's a perfect SSG for everyone, but at least uncommon input format support isn't an intractable problem for it.

It's used for sorting "widgets" (page processing steps) according to dependency lists that users can specify in the config (like `after = ["foo", "bar"]`).
Other than that, one thing I really like about OCaml is that the compiler team and most library maintainers are considerate towards downstream users with respect to compatibility.
The Lua interpreter [3] that soupault uses for its plugin API is a revived 20 year old research project. It only needed minor modifications to build with recent compiler versions.
