Static web-site generators take page content written in a markup
language and render it into fully baked HTML, making it easy for developers
to upload the result and serve a web site simply and
securely. This article looks at Hugo, a
static-site generator written in Go and optimized for speed. It is a
flexible tool that can be configured for a variety of use cases: simple
blogs, project documentation, larger news sites, and even government
services.
