(content
((p "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.")
(p "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.")
(p "Naturally, this website is built with Haunt. You can see its
complete source code in the "
(code "website") " directory in Haunt's "
(a (@ (href "https://git.dthompson.us/haunt.git/tree/HEAD:/website"))
"official git repository")
".")
(p "The Haunt 0.1 release tarball URL can be found on the "
(a (@ (href "/downloads.html")) "downloads page")
".")
(p "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 "
(code "davet") " at " (code "gnu.org") ".")
(p "Happy haunting!"))))
