I guess we all bring our own background to the topic. In my case, noodling on a static site generator is a classic procrastination tarpit, something I find myself doing when writing has hit a rough patch, an easy offramp from something more worthwhile.

For you it sounds like it serves a very different, and more positive purpose. So I'm kind of torn; I don't want to be in the position of saying "you are enjoying yourself wrong", but I also think this forum is already heavy with discussions of toolchains. Gearheads have every right to have long conversations about the elaborate constructions that make them happy, but on any forum they are going to find themselves in tension with people who just want the gear to do stuff.
