Migration to Golang
Again, it's time to move along.
My old blog was powered by Blogsum. It served well, but it had also some drawbacks.
First, as a Perl script, it relied on Apache and mod_perl
module.
With Apache removed from Base of OpenBSD, it isn't as easy to
intergrate it with nginx
or a new OpenBSD's http daemon httpd
.
Second, over several past years, I got really exited with Go and would also like build something with it. I even started my own attempt on writing a Blog engine, but due to lack of time, it's almost abandoned. Thus, after some thoungts and tries, I preferred to go with Golang's own Blog engine.
It is maintened by a core team and suits quite well my needs. Simple plain article backend, no need for a fancy DB engine, only some minor style tweaks and here we go: a new Blog. It's also pretty trivial to hack.
