Comments and Reviews
It's much easier to use than Jekyll, it's faster, and the documentation is cleaner.
It seems like the best alternative to Grav, with much better and more up-to-date themes. On sites like gethugothemes, I found several nice themes such as Parsa, Hargo, Liva, and Bookworm Light.
Very smart and well-structured.
To build the extended edition of Hugo from source you must:
Install Git Install Go version 1.20 or later Install a C compiler, either GCC or Clang Update your PATH environment variable as described in the Go documentation
Super fast in (re-)generating the whole website. Very logic and easy concept of site-layout and keeps a lot of freedom for the own creative layout concepts. Well, some learning is required when you want to create your own themes; but there are quite some nice themes available for free download.
Fast, easy to use, active community and lots of themes. The documentation is very bad once you want to do something custom though and lots of alternatives have been popping up lately.
It is simple and fast. The only hurdle to overcome are custom themes but once you get a foothold progress pours like a waterfall. I love the workflow and integrated support of SASS in form of Hugo pipes.
