Out of curiosity (as Pillar - well actually Ecstatic, was on my next hitlist to research), but is it so different from something like JavaScripts Metalsmith.io <http://metalsmith.io/> ? I found metalsmith’s publishing pipeline and plugin system quite intuitive and easy to use but I just didn’t like nodejs so much (and the crappy webpack/brunch auto reloading systems).
It struck me that what they were doing was quite trivial in Smalltalk and I assumed Pillar (and Ecstatic) were similar in concept. However when I had a peak it did look quite complicated and made me think that porting Metalsmith might be easier and in interesting personal project. Anyway, might be worth a look if you want architectural inspiration.
