(Which Symfony-based app is an open question. A year from now I'd > say Drupal 8, but it's not stable yet, so, yeah... <g>) I do see the point, but if Jekyll does the job then it seems a little "Not Invented Here" to use a Symfony-based one, doesn't it? :) One of the things I like about the Symfony community is that we commonly use best-practice tools even when they aren't Symfony or even PHP (the documentation's written in RST and compiled with the python-based Sphinx tool; Assetic cheerfully calls out to Java for YUI, Ruby for Sass, Node for Coffeescript…) I don't think it's a weakness to show that we can play well with others. So we should pick the right tool for the job. With that said, I've not used Jekyll enough to say that it's the right tool. :P Anyway, I strongly agree with the idea of making an experience site, and with the idea of it being static. I think a few deep case studies would be better than a large directory. Finally, just out of curiosity, what's the benefit of using HttpKernel to make a static site generator. Wouldn't you just need Pimple, Finder, Twig, and Markdown (and maybe Assetic and Imagine if you want to be fancy with resources)?
