I think #Zola is my favorite tools so far that spans from the #Rust ecosystem: a single binary static web generator.

For a non-web person like me it is easy to grasp. I got a page quickly created that I can send to the employers in the early Fall.

Another earlier mentioned tool, which has someone real innovation embedded is of course #Typst :-)

Making forks of old craft is mostly counter-productive and causes unnecessary drift and divergence, so I oppose all the Rust fork garbage.

It is morally legit to be in opposition against software that is developed from toxic standing point, considering open source community overall. Being toxic against toxic is not toxic.

1. Forking in traditional open source community is a strongly considered act. I think the current "fork even your grand mother" trend inherits from many new Rust developer previously being Web/JavaScript developers.
2. Forking is not engineering. Engineering is innovating within constraints. For instance, Firefox has some of the code re-engineered in Rust. Bringing Rust to an existing open source project is difficult and tedious task, and also hard to rationalize to the existing community, but that is what Engineers do. It is an engineering problem by definition.
