I used Middleman in the past. It inspired me to create Monkeyman, a Scala static site generator. But Scala isn't really the language of the web, so I moved on to Metalsmith, after finding Wintersmith. Metalsmith is quite nice. It doesn't restrict you in any way. A Metalsmith plugin is really easy to implement, and there's quite an extensive set of plugins already available.

Hi, Scala friend! :D If you have time, please try out github.com/sake92/hepek
It's pure scala, but you can write Markdown in it, has support for lots of goodies! :)
