Not sure we do, yet!  I'd like us to have a well-known system that
doesn't require arcane and bespoke hacks on top.  But given the amount
of content we have (see, this comment is relevant! :-) ) we also need
a system built for that scale.  I'm not saying that isn't node-based,
but there's also a reason one of the most popular SSGs (Hugo, as Chris
mentioned) is written in Go (https://gohugo.io/), and Orchid is still
probably worth at least a look from a migrating-from-JBake point of
view (https://orchid.netlify.com/)

Separate by platform / IDE, or maybe separate out tutorials in general
on to a subdomain?  Mind you, keep all old links or redirect?

That asciidoc requirement does narrow the search a bit! ;-)

Have you used Antora at all?  Not one I've looked at before - seems
like it might fit all the requirements from a glance - possibly the
only JS option that does out of the box?

May find some time for a play with it, but not for a few weeks at
least.  A few other things need to take precedence right now - some
obvious! :-)

Best wishes,

Neil
