title: Introducing Haunt
date: 2015-08-08 10:00:00
tags: news, releases
summary: Haunt 0.1 released
---
I am pleased to announce the first alpha release of Haunt, yet another
static site generator. 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. :)
