I don't have a free hour unfortunately. And I know I'm not going to use that because I don't want to setup a Lua environment. Indeed, I have enough Lua experience to know that they break the language in big ways for what seems like every release. That's a liability. What happens when luapress stops getting regular maintenance and the version of Lua it uses is no longer packaged in my Linux distro? Oops. Ticking time bomb.
I meant it. I'm done with static site generators built by others. They have caused me too much pain.
Static site generators are just too easy to build and too easy to let die. And the ones that don't die grow big and bloated. That's my experience. The only remedy I see is to build my own and simplify ruthlessly through tight coupling.
"You either live long enough to see yourself become the villain, or you die a hero."

EDIT: That "oops" is already reality: https://github.com/Fizzadar/Luapress#luapress-v4
