Overview
Zola is a static site generator built with Rust, offering a single executable for creating websites. It eliminates external dependencies, including Sass compilation and syntax highlighting, traditionally requiring complex dev environments or JavaScript libraries. Zola prioritizes speed, generating average sites in under a second, encompassing Sass compilation and syntax highlighting. Zola generates static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files, which makes it scalable for any level of traffic, reducing server management costs, because there is no database. It focuses on intuitive CLI and templating, allowing users to concentrate on creating content, for blogs, knowledge bases, and landing pages. It supports Augmented Markdown with shortcodes and internal links for easier writing.
