About

Hakyll is an open-source Haskell library for generating static websites, primarily aimed at personal blogs and small-to-medium sites.

It uses an embedded domain-specific language in Haskell to define content processing rules, supports Markdown and LaTeX through 📖 Pandoc, and provides templating, tag generation, pagination, and syntax highlighting for compiled HTML output.

Hugo is a static site generator written in Go that focuses on speed, flexibility and structured content organization.

It supports Markdown content, templating, configurable taxonomies, multilingual sites, image processing, Sass and JavaScript pipelines, pretty URLs, a live-reload development server, and shortcodes to insert elements such as videos, images and social media embeds.
