Hello, World!

2022-03-17

This is my new blog! I’m planning on posting stuff related to software development, but I’ll probably post other stuff too. I want to post something every week, but don’t want to restrict myself in any other way.

The blog

For this blog I made my own static site generator. It just takes a directory of markdown and converts it to HTML. It includes a templating language using S-Exprs, but that mostly for fun.

The S-Expr templates are slightly different from stuff like Handlebars and co. because it isn’t string interpolation. The S-Exprs build a document structure, which could have some really neat benefits. But I don’t know what that would be at the moment; it was just a design decision I made.
