That's very interesting, thank you. I'm hearing about Zola a lot and it all sounds good, do you have experience with it?

The only thing that worries me about it is that e.g. with Lektor, I can just write a small Python template filter if I need something, whereas Zola isn't extensible at all (as far as I know). Has that been a problem in practice?

Yes, my personal blog is written with zola: https://cetra3.github.io/.

Source code to the blog is on github: https://github.com/cetra3/cetra3.github.io

I haven't had a need to customise zola itself, as the template language it uses (tera) is quite usable with macros etc...

That's a great example, thank you! I love how fast Zola is, Lektor takes forever.
