Hugo is pretty nice

Thursday. February 09, 2023 - 1 min

I stood up a Hugo website yesterday as part of the mini project for my university module.

SSGs are nothing new to me. I’m a big fan of Jekyll but it’s not the flavour of the month in the developer world. It’s not shiny or new enough to keep the developer communities interest, despite the recent uptick in development. Whilst it a productive environment for me to work within, it’s time to stretch my coding legs.

Hugo was super simple to get setup. Adding in a basic template with quick and simple, and the elements of Go that you’re exposed to make sense and doesn’t require a working knowledge of the language. Oh, and it’s quick. Like really quick.

Overall, super impressed and looking forward to the next few weeks with my head in Hugo.
