I like that static site generators are basically the Cups And Balls of our craft.
It's so well understood and constrained of a problem domain that we can now ignore the practical considerations and go all-out with the art itself. I feel like this design and api is a great example of that, much like Penn and Teller's Cups and Balls with clear cups[1] - wonderfully creative innovation within a completely and totally solved problem domain.
