After starting to look more int GO programming I also inteded to revive my outdated blog on github. Although I’m veteran Pythonista I felt a little bit stuck with the complexity and the missing reactive designs of Nikola with which I started my blog.

Digging more into the Go ecosystem I stumpled across Hugo and played around for a night, and with my limited number of existing posts swichting was easily done.

To whomever it concerns: here are my ultimate reasons for switching

• MUCH better selection of reactive themes
• less bloated configuration
• single executable (that’s what I love about go in general)

Drawbacks:

• not such a nice gh-pages deploy integration
• not python ;-)
• creation of themes not that flexible (no theme inheritance)

That’s my resumee for the time beeing, I’ve only scratched the very surface of Hugo yet and I’m curious what else I will found good and not-so-good about hugo.
