Anchor
Moonlab needed a way to turn a directory of AsciiDoc files into a website.
There are already more static site generators than anyone needs. I wrote another one anyway.
It's called anchor. It's written in Common Lisp, it builds this site, and it has a small job: read AsciiDoc documents and write a directory of static files.
The short reason is that I wanted less than most static site generators give me. I did not want a database, a theme system, a template language, an asset pipeline, or a deployment system. I wanted the source tree to look like the site, and I wanted the content to contain the facts about itself.
Anchor does that. Most of the interesting parts follow from those two choices.
