I'm thinking about using a static site generator #ssg for my #homepage / #blog. I'm currently wavering between #jekyll, #Pelican and #hugo. What would you recommend and why?

The #ProgrammingLanguage does not play the most important role for me, as I have already come into contact with all languages ( #ruby , #python & #golang ), albeit to varying degrees.

Say you have a 26-year-old codebase of around 10,000 lines of C (a CLI app for Unix/Linux and no special hardware access or related to device drivers etc). It still works, but the code is messy because you were less experienced at that time. Now it's time to rewrite it from scratch. What language would you choose? Go? Rust? Python?

Looks like I'll have to assemble a bit more. I even have to cut the cables to length and fit the plugs myself. I wouldn't have expected it before, but it's a lot of fun!
