It supports exporting content to HTML, Gemini (GMI), and LaTeX from a single source file, offers full programmatic control through Scheme, integrates seamlessly with editor tooling like Emacs/paredit, and maintains a small, extensible codebase. The author demonstrates basic usage, component creation, variable handling, layout definitions, and walks through a real website implementation including article listings and draft filtering. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
