This is a continuation of the rant about static site generation systems. While I liked vitepress a lot more than I like Jekyll I still have some issues with how it works.

In principle it is one of the better static site generators in my opinion, probably better than anything that I've dealt with so far...

I've had complaints about Markdown for years. I don't like it. Is it better than e.g. writing your code in ReST, I'd argue marginally, and only if you assume that ReST was meant to be used in the same circumstances as Markdown, which it does not.

In my opinion, if your life revolves around Markdown, this article will make your life a bit easier, not by a lot, but still. I'd make the case that we're better off leaving Markdown behind, and instead to move beyond "lightweight" text-based markup.

This is perhaps a fitting beginning to the first blog post on my home page.

I FUCKING HATE JEKYLL.

I'm quite surprised, and frankly appalled at the fact that there are few if any useful tools for generating static sites.

I started off with Jekyll, because it seemed like the right tool for the job, after all it is supported by GitHub.
