The only thing that is said to make Hugo better than other static site generators is that it compiles fast. This is probably because of Go. Now Go is so fast because it uses ALGOL's compiling methods...

I wonder how fast Hugo would be if it was written in Pascal instead.

One could also argue that developers also has some impact on speed in an app like Hugo. The measured speed increase from Hugo 0.16 was 40/60 Go vs Developer.
