Hugo is so strange, I’ve worked on a shortcode, and it just did not want to work. {{- $matched := where $allSeries "Params.lostInterest" false -}} It took me nearly an hour to find the issue! The culprit was the camelCase spelling of lostInterest. As soon as I changed it to all lower c... vmac.ch

@peterimoore I don’t think it’s any worse than any of the others, I just think the others are more similar to each other.

The Hugo template engine is mostly just an extension of the golang templating stuff

@peterimoore, I think this:

> seasoned developers — which I’m not — having frustration with it

summarizes my expericences pretty well. In the end I was able to solve nearly all of my issues, but the way to get there needs more energy then I think it should. And I don’t think I had these issues with jekyllrb. But it is just to slow when you have more then five posts in you’re blog :-( And I think in the end every system has it’s quirks.

@peterimoore you don’t need to know any golang. In the same way you don’t need any ruby to use jekyll

@peterimoore any speific reason which you like from Zola? I’ve only had a short look at the page right now it looks rather close to Hugo from what I’ve seen.

@toddgrotenhuis, yes, in this regard, it’s the same as Hugo. And that is certainly an aspect I like of Hugo. I don’t want to remember how many times I needed to fix my ruby gems with Jekyll Oo (until I moved it into Docker, but that made it still slower).
