Hugo can be as simple as installing it, configuring a site with some yaml that points at a really available theme and writing your markdown content.
It gets admittedly more complex if you’re wanting to write your own theme though.
But I think this realistically applies to most all static site generators.
Given the topic, the response and the location I’m going to go with “because it seems neat and could be fun”.
Now, since I now know if it I’m going to give it a crack. 😆
