As we have learned, SSGs are all about the build step. No one likes to wait a long time for their website to build. SSGs like Hugo and Zola are trying to create a build experience that is significantly faster than previous SSGs. Hugo is usually around 6 times faster than Jekyll and is even faster compared to Next.js or other framework-based SSGs. There are multiple reasons for this. First, Hugo and Zola are written in Go and Rust, respectively, rather than JavaScript or Ruby, which most other static site generators use. Go and Rust are much faster than Ruby and JavaScript because they use static types (along with manual garbage collection in Rust's case) and are compiled beforehand. Second, they both are designed to use multithreading. Multithreading multiple allows tasks to run simultaneously by utilizing multiple CPU cores instead of running everything sequentially on one CPU core. Finally, Hugo and Zola simply focus on optimizing their code for fast build times.
Many modern static site generators integrate with modern JavaScript frameworks like React, Svelte, and Vue. Using a framework like those mentioned earlier instead of a traditional templating language gives you access to the vast ecosystem of framework-specific components and code that can run on both the build server and client. Currently, the most popular SSG that does this is Next.js, which supports both dynamic rendering and static rendering. However, many other popular SSGs do this, like Gatsby, VitePress, and Astro. Next.js and Gatsby both support React, VitePress supports Vue, and Astro supports multiple frameworks, including React, Svelte, and Vue.
Not everyone who writes knows how to program too. Because of that, it was hard for people who did not know how to program to manage content. That is why people created CMSs. CMSs made it easy for marketers to create and manage content without touching code. The first CMSs were enterprise CMSs like FileNet and Documentum (now OpenText). However, as many people know, this did not last forever. A few years later, in 2003, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little created WordPress. WordPress' was completely open-source and quickly grew to become the most popular CMS on the web, and it still is. However, while it became popular, WordPress did not make everyone happy. This is where static site generators come in.
