🆚 Eleventy vs. Jekyll

Eleventy is a high-performance, production-ready, open-source static site generator written in JavaScript.

It generates zero client-side JavaScript by default, has built-in support for Markdown, HTML, Nunjucks, Liquid, and other templating languages via plugins, is zero-config to start and can be extended with flexible configuration options, and allows incremental builds that operate only on changed files.

Jekyll is a static site generator written in Ruby.

It uses the Liquid templating language, supports front-matter metadata and data files in YAML, JSON, and CSV formats, includes a plugin system with custom converters and generators, and offers incremental regeneration to speed up build times.
