The About page generated in the demo video doesn't look modern or impressive in any other meaning. Would be great to see video with more advanced example.
BTW, the Punch's site (http://laktek.github.com/punch) is created using Punch itself (if it impresses you)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Punch generates static HTML pages using Mustache and JSON, which can be served from a server. Apart from that Punch's renderer can also be used on client-side to render dynamic content. This is elaborated with an example, in the blog post.
Sorry, I misinterpreted what Punch actually is. Maybe you could elaborate in "What is Punch" section that it uses node.js to generate HTML pages?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll update "What is Punch" section with more elaboration.
I've taken a different approach to solve this problem ( http://substancehq.com/ ). It uses mustache but does the rendering on the server side. My aim is to make it a lot better thank jekyll, because in my experience, jekyll doesn't have the best feedback cycle for editing → publishing. Sure, you can use the editor you like to write the blog posts, but, polishing them after publishing is a realy pain. Would love to he…
If no, where to download code to play with?

Did not see link to source code on home page. Is this closed source? If no, where to download code to play with?
Pardon my ignorance, but I thought the modern trend was to move away from that? Towards coffeescript, dart etc. Is there a good reason to insist in js, css. Or is it just my GWT bias showing?

But the currently available tools often requires people to have certain other knowledge (such as server-side scripting in PHP, Managing MySQL databases, etc) to create and manage a simple real-life website. Aim of Punch is to remove this layer of complexity and be a comfortable tool for even someone who knows only the basics.
Personally, I believe it's still easy to create manageable websites only with HTML, CSS and JS.
However, as I mentioned in the post Punch is quite flexible. If someone fancy they can even extend it to parse CoffeeScript or Sass as well.

You realize this "dance" is solved by a simple post-receive hook right? For example:
git clone ${GIT_REPO} ${TMP}
${HOME}/gems/bin/jekyll --safe --no-auto ${TMP} ${PUBLIC_WWW}
rm -rf ${TMP}
