You're right and I do mention Pelican briefly in the post in the section about language. Having been working with these tools a long time, I am aware of it though I've never used it. I do think the JS tools get more attention these days, but two of the biggest (i.e. Hugo and Jekyll) are not JS.
I am a polyglot seasoned software engineer. Besides the day job, I contribute to open source projects, beta test startup products, and offer consultancy.

Jekyll is the oldest, and Github pages support it out of the box. Hugo has speed working for it, and other SSG cannot even eat its dust.
