[dev] Re: My take at a static site generator
That was my issue, the need to implement things. Along my HTML code, I also have to implement or include libraries for common functionality. define(loop, ‘ifelse($2,0,, ‘define(‘$1’,$2)$3‘’loop(‘$1’,decr($2),‘$3’)’)’) ... loop(‘i’,10,‘Counter is i’) vs ... # i = 1 while ... #! Also, I think most loops would be on files.
