  Sometimes we are very self-aware, but we still do things just because... - It is a wee publishing system made of pipelined workflows, optionally driven by streams of file events (for the hotreloadin' bits). - It will not surprise a Perl/PHP gentleperson hacker from the last century. - It exists because one whistles silly tunes and shaves yaks. - my site maker's README

  Just anecdata, but as someone who first learned HTML/JS/CSS, then PHP, shell, TypeScript, Python, other popular langs... Perl's syntax hurts my brain. :(
