While Hugo was fast, I really, really, really disliked how it did things outside the norm. For example, I wanted to build a file that would be a JSON page of my last 5 blog entries. As much as I tried, I couldn't get Hugo to output JSON. I understand they support it now, but when I tried to understand the new feature, I just got more confused. I'll put that blame on me - maybe I just don't get how the folks behind Hugo think, but Jekyll just plain worked.

Of course - now I'm in love with Eleventy. :)

Interesting, well thatโ€™s useful to know,โ€™Iโ€™ve had a good experience with Jekyll so far. I was considering using Hugo for a project, mainly because I like that itโ€™s built woth Go ๐Ÿ˜„ and yeah the speed. But think I might just give it a miss, doesnโ€™t sound worth it ๐Ÿ‘
