In short: Hybrid site generating :) Only generate on-the-fly
what NEEDS to be on-the-fly. Only regenerate things when they
change, not every time they're viewed (unless they change more
than they're viewed, like maybe an admin-only site webstats
page, but such cases are rare).
Guys - KISS! During the time we already spent in this thread, we
could have written least five great blog entries!
Therefore +1 for static site generators - they keep stuff simple.
The advantage of Jekyll is that it works so nice with Github
pages and everyone can thus preview the changes on their local
gh-pages branch. Getting the Dlang theme is not difficult, see
e.g. my proposal for to put the DIPs into a github repo:
https://github.com/wilzbach/d-dip
http://wilzbach.github.io/d-dip/DIP86
The DIP Jekyll site builds in ~five seconds (90 pages).
That being said, I like Hugo too.
Btw if we just keep using DDOC (a static site generator), all the
custom macros will continue to work ;-)
