It's very impressive how expressive and flexible the compilers in the BEAMverse are. Elixir extends this rather far, and there are whole utilities such as Surface[1] that are built atop and make heavy use of custom compilers

For more germane blogging and ssg in elixir/beam, I use and recommend the excellent tableau generator[2], by Mitch Hanberg. I use it to power my own personal site[3], and publish the source[4] for anyone who is interested.

Thanks for sharing. I think I will use it for my blog. I wanted to create a programming blog for a long time and focused on Hugo to build the static site but I could not decide myself since the doc is not good enough IMO and thus I didn't feel comfortable enough to start it. And I want something minimal. Now using Elixir seems like a good idea since it has already been my main programming language for the last few years.


Tableau is pretty good. It has a couple of rough edges, but nothing too bad, and can be easily extended or overridden where needed to do what you need to do
