Hakyll

This website is made using Hakyll and Pandoc. I have often tried to move away from Hakyll because I can’t “hack it” (haha). But, very few other static compilers can leverage the power of Pandoc like Hakyll does. So, I’m going to use this opportunity to learn Haskell through Hakyll like many have.

been so happy i moved my blog off platforms like WordPress tho. that has now allowed me (and sometimes forced me) to learn so much, not about programming per se (altho some – HTML, CSS, and Haskell) but all the other stuff: servers and ssh keys and Nixops and so many things.
