Everyone I know who uses Haunt to build their websites loves it, and there's good reason for that: it's the static site generator foundation that best understands that a static site generator is a computer program, a function whose input is a pile of blogpost files and whose output is a complete website.

But at the end of the day it's just a computer program, and you should be able to hack that program to make it yours

@cwebber Hmm. I played with jekyll, I knew about haunt. Hugo is in particular popular. Oh my... this could be tempting to fool around a little with scheme. In the past that meant I don't get shit done.

I think it would make sense from the standpoint to just clone it and then not touching it for years, I'm so tired of `make install` and other fumbling around to shit done where others have lazy tools like `gem install jekyll` or similar.

@phantasus @cwebber

Maybe you would want to join #Gentoo (or #GUIX)? We do "make install" for each other, so that nobody has to do *all* of their "make install" for themselves.

@anton @cwebber Look. I run here happily Archlinux since years. I won't change my distro, just to feel more comfortable with one particular package.

As long as `pacman -Ss guix` returns nothing I have to make inconvenient installs. This is also an issue with a couple of other spritely projects, like goblins, which relies on some TLS library and threads implementation. With a couple of hours investing to debug the build process, you can get that running too.

But convenient as a `npm install X`, `gem install X`, `pip install X` or whatever you fancy, it's sadly not yet.
