+
+I thought it was about time I actually made something useful. So here it is. A website.. with posts! In all seriousness, it was quite interesting. Although this post is just here to have something here.
+
+Static site generators have grown rather complicated. Far more complicated than I would ever need. Additionally, I would rather not have to relearn the damn thing every time I want to change the site. So I went looking for simple. Preferably written in a lisp-like language or a lisp dialect, because I thought that would be fun. After a little bit of searching, the choice was between [Haunt](https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html), written in [Guile Scheme](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/), and [Bagatto](https://bagatto.co/), written in [Janet](https://janet-lang.org/).
+
+I ended up with Haunt, simply because it was in nixpkgs which in turn made my life easier. You can check out the source of the website [here](#). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Documentation was so-so, but by taking advantage of the awesome people who made stuff with Haunt over at [Awesome Haunt](https://awesome.haunt.page/), I managed to get up and running. It really is quite a powerful ssg.
+
+That said, Janet might be worth checking out at some point.
