What it is

Hakyll is a Haskell SSG. Programmable build rules, Pandoc-powered conversion, strongly typed. Niche but loved by the Haskell community for personal sites.

Best for

  • Haskell developers writing personal sites
  • Sites that benefit from Pandoc's document conversion

When not to pick it

For non-Haskell teams the toolchain cost is significant. Pick a JS or Go SSG instead.

My take

A statement piece for Haskell developers. Outside that audience, you are paying the Haskell tax for a static site.

Jekyll

The original SSG. Liquid templates, Ruby, Markdown. GitHub Pages' backbone.
