Lambda Pad
Erlang static site generator that builds a site from an index module, data loaders and Django templates.
Lambda Pad is a static site generator written in Erlang. A site is defined by an Erlang module, which loads its data from plain-text files such as Markdown and JSON in the project and generates the site with Django templates. Running lpad-gen in the project directory builds the site. The repository’s docs folder holds the documentation, including a getting-started page that describes cloning the repository and running make.
Worth knowing
The project’s own website no longer serves the software: its address shows a page saying the site has been stopped. The documentation is in the repository’s docs folder. Building it needs a non-Windows system with a configure and make environment.
