Zola: A fast static site generator in a single binary

I use PHP for exactly this reason. I wrote my own single .exe binary (written in C++) that generates JSON files from markdown files + others. The JSON files are then turned into static files via PHP using whatever template I care to create.

I think people their life harder when they go out of their way to avoid using PHP when really it is suited towards these types of problems.

I mean, it used to literally stand for Personal Home Page, so it sounds like you're using it for its original purpose.

It drives me nuts when people implement template languages on top of PHP. That was its purpose.
