> Static blog generators are the next big thing.

I don't mean this in a hipster way at all.. but static blogs have been around and popular for a long time. It's been at least 5 years since Jekyll got popular which is one of the first static site generators that I remember catching on. There were surely ones that came before that that I hadn't heard of. I was building blogs and websites with Hyde (a Python clone of Jekyll) in 2009.

What's old is new again?

It feels kind of silly to call this a movement :).
