Thanks for your feedback!
I agree that shell script is sort of a natural fit for templating, you
just take plain text and massage it into HTML.
There are 3rd party solutions for ugc for static sites like
https://staticman.net/ which are acceptable.
OpenBSD stat is used to generate the timestamp for invalidating the
cache on css and js files for example.
<link rel=stylesheet href=theme.css?$(stat -f '%Sm' -t
'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' "theme.css">
GNU stat has a different parameter signature, so I just bundled the
OpenBSD one in the binary packages
for distribution reasons. I could create a set of simple utilities to
generate that timestamp and bundle
them in the binary package.
I plan to create "plugin" scripts stored in ./share/libexec which
would be called from the main mkws binary.
