gollark: Er, Clay or something.
gollark: There was that nice thing for writing CSS in Haskell which I had to switch away from.
gollark: It does many things, like compiling SASS to CSS, minifying the javascriptscripts, inlining CSS too, pulling in the RSS feed "webring", and rendering Markdown; I think I ran into Hakyll not being customizable enough in some way and me having to work around it lots.
gollark: I used to use hakyll for my website, but I replaced it with some horrible JS a while ago.
gollark: Lua doesn't ship with much beyond the bare minimum.
