The author envies simple static site generation setups but continues to use Emacs Org mode for blogging.
Org mode's publishing functions are complex and not fully understood by the author.
The author acknowledges the complexity of Org's exporting framework, which is over 20,000 lines of code.
Despite the complexity, the author values Org's Babel feature for running and embedding code outputs in documents.
Babel supports multiple languages, sessions, and variable injection, making it highly versatile for the author's needs.
The convenience of drafting data, illustrations, and text simultaneously in Org mode is irreplaceable for the author.
Creating a custom blogging engine with Babel's features would be time-consuming and impractical for the author.
