Hugo - a static site generator (gohugo.io)

So I thought about moving from posting links to blogs for a while and do a series of tool posts and then make something like a megathread for weblogging.

Today we start with Hugo, a fast and simple static site generator used by a ton of people. It has quite a few themes to choose from and is relatively simple to get started with. Judging from my own experience, you can go from absolute 0 with Hugo to having a site with most needed configuration in the course of one evening. It has documentation for a lot of things, for example how to automate deployment of your website to GH pages. At the same time, Hugo is definitely not minimalistic, its set of features is enough to satisfy most people.

Post your thoughts on it and experience with it in the comments, to help people grasp better what they will be dealing with if they chose Hugo.
