Fast light weight static site framework written in rust

If you are familiar with a static site generator like 11ty, sapling is nothing new to you. If not here is a quick intro to the world of static site frameworks.

Static Site Framework :

Often times, website do not have to change once served. Websites like these are considered "static". Even to write those static site we often want to do little dynamic stuff, like :

• get a page with list of all sites in a given directory or topic
• use same structure for all blogs but different content

or some times we want to do things like :

• want to write slightly complex websites without javascript or much html

Static site frameworks serve exactly these purposes.
