I liked Hugo because it was just one exe for building a static site and I could just use the most basic HTML tools, avoiding all of the over-complicated 16 different build stages job-preserving modern webdev nonsense. I wondered whether I should update my blog theme a bit and looked at recent examples - it now seems normal to pull in npm and compile go modules to expand it all. My eyes! You just can't resist bolting the kitchen sink onto everything, can you web devs? 
@sinbad I must admit that I'm non-zero tempted to just bang together a site generator based on Markdown::Perl and a couple of other things when I (eventually) get around to fixing my site, and set up a gitea action to build the site from a project in my gitea instance.
I was considering hugo, but they really do seem to love overdoing it all.
@JeremiahFieldhaven at least with Hugo I can keep my old ass version with my old hacked theme and it works; I really don’t want to faff with it much. I tried Zola but both times it fell over with esoteric errors doing the most basic intro things so I could t be bothered with it. Will just keep my creaky toolchain that works fine
