Working with @GoHugoIO is such a joy. Having worked with #Jekyll in the past, the near instant preview is a big win! Did not expect this to make such a huge difference.

Can't overstate how much I enjoy @GoHugoIO. My site is relatively small, but *18 ms* to build the whole thing made template development and proofing a breeze.

Hugo is really, really incredible... Now does resizing/resampling of images as well! Crazy that something so fast can be a static site generator... Amazing open-source project.

I fear @GoHugoIO v0.22 might be so fast it creates a code vortex that time-warps me back to a time I used Wordpress. #gasp
