I did just find github.com/betterwebini... too but that mostly just crashed on my site :(

Oh. There is a Python implementation of Liquid. Should I ignore the siren song or should I make a stripped-down single-file checked-in "Jekyll" clone that can build my site?

I have been writing blog posts in a text editor and using a static site generator for about 12 years now but I found myself reminiscing about the web auto-save publish-on-click flow. There's a certain romance to it.

@maplant.com challenged me in high school to write an RPN calculator/interpreter and I struggled with it so much that it gave me a complex and now I write compilers for a living

I'm very honored to have received this year's RubyPrize from Matz's hands in Matsue last Thursday, recognizing my work on Ruby and its development tools.
I can still remember how nervous I was asking Matz for a picture back in 2016 😂 Time really flies
