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.

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.
