Syntax Highlighting Test

Fenced code blocks get highlighted at build time. No JavaScript. A small tokenizer in build.py handles keywords, strings, and comments.

Python

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pathlib import Path
from datetime import datetime, timezone


def parse_frontmatter(text: str) -> tuple[dict, str]:
    if not text.startswith("---\n"):
        return {}, text
    try:
        end = text.index("\n---\n", 4)
    except ValueError:
        return {}, text
    meta = {}
    for line in text[4:end].splitlines():
        if ":" in line:
            k, _, v = line.partition(":")
            meta[k.strip()] = v.strip()
    return meta, text[end + 5:]


if __name__ == "__main__":
    for path in sorted(Path("content/posts").glob("*.md"), reverse=True):
        meta, _ = parse_frontmatter(path.read_text())
        print(f"{meta.get('date', '?')}  {meta.get('title', path.stem)}")

Bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

SITE="lotek.run"
OUT="output"

if [ ! -d "$OUT" ]; then
    echo "run build.py first" >&2
    exit 1
fi

# rsync to remote, delete files that no longer exist locally
rsync -avz --delete "$OUT/" "user@$SITE:/var/www/html/"
echo "deployed."

Rust

use std::fs;
use std::path::Path;

fn slugify(title: &str) -> String {
    title
        .to_lowercase()
        .chars()
        .map(|c| if c.is_alphanumeric() { c } else { '-' })
        .collect::<String>()
        .trim_matches('-')
        .to_string()
}

fn main() {
    let posts = Path::new("content/posts");
    for entry in fs::read_dir(posts).expect("no posts dir") {
        let path = entry.unwrap().path();
        if path.extension().map_or(false, |e| e == "md") {
            println!("{}", path.display());
        }
    }
}

TOML

[site]
title = "lotek.run"
url   = "https://lotek.run"
desc  = "dispatches from the margins"

[build]
posts_dir    = "content/posts"
output_dir   = "output"
date_format  = "%Y-%m-%d"

[author]
name    = "unknown"
contact = "find a way"

SQL

-- hypothetical: if this site ever needed a database (it doesn't)
SELECT
    slug,
    title,
    date,
    array_length(string_to_array(tags, ','), 1) AS tag_count
FROM posts
WHERE date >= current_date - interval '90 days'
ORDER BY date DESC;
