Move to Hugo #263

@Privat33r-dev

Description

@Privat33r-dev

Hugo is a popular alternative to Jekyll, written in Golang. It's actively maintained and has much greater speed, which might attract more maintainers.

Reasons:

  • More active development1
  • Bigger community1
  • Speed of rebuilding, performance2
  • Extensibility3
  • Better template syntax with migration tools from Jekyll4
  • LiveReload out of the box5

Update of Jekyll to V4 would allow faster builds due to caching (in theory, in practice I just tested and it takes same 6 seconds to build even without any changes).
