#32any chance of this supporting wikilinks and back references?

The fact people still add "written in Rust" to HN submissions is almost as funny as how effective it is, which itself is almost as funny as the fact that people like me can't stop commenting on it.
For me it means I can fork the repo and start hacking on the code immediately, and it will have reasonable quality.
With C++/Python and even Node I often find myself wasting half a day just getting it to build.

Yep. If it's a Python project, it's about a 60% chance it won't run on the first try after a fresh clone.
When I see a CLI tool written in Rust or Go, it usually just works out of the box without having to mess around with godawful pip environments or conda.

Yeah this loop will go on with this comment, it seems.

I say this as someone who cut their teeth on and loves Python for a thousand reasons, I have to agree. Python projects are abysmal. Rye and UV are promising (and I am very excited about them), but they aren't quite ready yet.
"Written in Rust" carries with it significant promises that only Go also has. (Go has a lot of the same promises, for having good tooling and the same mostly-statically-compiled philosophy.)
"Written in Rust" tells me a project is easy to install and easy to hack on. I am far less interested in using non-Rust projects, and I am definitely disinterested in making code contributions to non-Rust projects.
Case in point: It took me much longer to write this comment than it took to install and use marmite.

This. It's basically about average quality. It's the old Python Paradox all over again. Javascript / Typescript is the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. Python / C++ is higher than that. And Rust is at the top.

#40I really like it. I have been on a quest to find very simple ssgs such as this. I have been trying to out Zola, as mentioned in the readme, but I really want to make sure there aren't things like telemetry or other random features injected in or getting added (as seems to be the case with jekyll with ai-folio or academic pages) so it takes a while to go through everything. Ai-folio or academic pages is basically my u…
Have you ever written your own? Definitely worth it even just for fun.
