I agree 100%, but more than anything for me was control: I had been using nanoc (https://nanoc.ws) for years and don't get me wrong, that's an excellent piece of software... but then I "left it" for a few months also because I stopped coding in Ruby for a while (and stopped blogging) .When I came back to it, I discovered that a new major version was out and I had to upgrade, potentially breaking quite a bit of things because I didn't keep the pace with the new changes. While this is true for nearly all software, I missed being in control of when to upgrade, and I also missed a few little features here and there. The result? I shopped around for it a bit and then decided to roll out my own: HastySite (https://hastysite.h3rald.com) which now powers a bunch of sites of mine like https://h3rald.com and https://min-lang.org Actually I ended up writing my own markdown processor and my own programming language before doing that (which also needed a Readline/line noise replacement, and wrappers for a regexp and compression library) but... hey, that's part of the fun isn't it? That's the very reason why I love being a programmer: it's not about the final result, it's about how you get there and what you learn along the way. So kudos to you sir, I wish you all the best and that you build more things yourself.

Pandoc is amazing and immensely useful. Just in case you need something simpler, let me suggest Hastyscribe. Statically compiled cross-platform program for convertng markdown to self-contained portable HTML with a nice styling embedded by default. Simple, small, fast, hackable, written in Nim. https://h3rald.com/hastyscribe/ https://github.com/h3rald/hastyscribe

Check LiteStore as bonus you have api included https://h3rald.com/litestore/ https://github.com/h3rald/litestore

The Nim compiler itself is written in Nim: https://github.com/Araq/Nim There is Jester, a framework for web applications: https://github.com/dom96/jester HastyScribe looks pretty nice as well: https://h3rald.com/articles/hastyscribe/

> [citation needed] Okay. The year is 2005. PHP5 was fresh out of the oven and most people were still on PHP4. From PHP's point of view, there's rumors of something happening in the Ruby community that will be big, and should be talked about [1]. Then Rails 1.0 drops at the end of the year. From this Slashdot thread [2] on the announcement you can gauge the contemporary reaction; comments detail the fact that Rails was breath of fresh air from the configuration-heavy Java frameworks of the day -- represented by Struts [3], but others weren't much different in this regard, as these books from 2002 and 2004 about alternatives to Struts show [4][5]. Several ASP developers, detail their positive experiences in switching their web development to Rails [6][7][8]. The PHP world is forever changed -- by 2006, frameworks inspired by Rails abound [9]. "Ruby on Rails" becomes a popular phrase, some frameworks borrow the naming scheme along with the ideas: "Groovy on Grails" [10] tries to bring Rails' ideas to the Java world, "PHP on Trax" (formerly "PHP on Rails" [9]), "ColdFusion on Wheels" [11]. I'd say Rails made quite the splash.
