Uriel

Uriel is a minimalistic, stable, feature complete static site generator, written in Python.

Built to last for years without requiring any maintenance. It is feature complete, and only depends on python3 and rsync, with no third-party module dependencies. That means that it won't break unexpectedly years from now, after you've built a site around it.

As long as you can still get a working copy of python3 and rsync, your site will still build the same way in the future.
