Does the world really need another one of +those? No, but Haunt is special because it is written in Guile +Scheme, a clean and elegant Lisp dialect, which allows users to +compose their websites using functional programming techniques. Using +a general-purpose, extensible programming language to build websites +allows Haunt users to view their website as not just mere data, but a +program. Haunt empowers the user to build the abstractions they need +to make a great static website without getting in the way. + +At its core, Haunt is a very simple program. To build your site, +Haunt takes your posts and static assets as input, passes them to a +series of user-defined building procedures that return one or more +pages, and outputs all of the generated pages to the file system. +That's all there is to it. All of the "good stuff" is implemented in +the builder procedures. Haunt 0.1 comes with simple blog and Atom +feed generators. + +Haunt is built to be as hackable as possible, and patches to improve +it are very much welcome. In particular, new post readers for common +formats such as org-mode and Markdown are desired, along with a more +robust blog builder and theme engine. In lieu of a mailing list, +patches may be sent to `davet` at `gnu.org`. + +This blog is built with Haunt, by the way. :) + +Source tarball: [haunt-0.1.tar.gz](https://files.dthompson.us/haunt/haunt-0.1.tar.gz.sig) + +GPG signature [haunt-0.1.tar.gz.sig](https://files.dthompson.us/haunt/haunt-0.1.tar.gz.sig) + +Happy haunting! |
