Mendoza

Mendoza is a simple static site generator, extensible with and written in the Janet programming language. Use a simple markup language to author content and flexible HTML templates for your static content. Inside templates, use the full power of the Janet language to generate boilerplate. Mendoza first parses markup into a document, are then rendered to HTML after going through custom transformations.

Why?

It aims to be easy to set up straight out of the box with Janet, and used for authoring documentation for the Janet website.
