I've hardly blogged in the last several years, but I've tried out half a dozen static site generators (SSGs). I think it could be a nice way to introduce/familiarize yourself with a programming language, beyond just the toy exercises. Once you understand one SSG, they're all very similar in essence, so it becomes a good way of getting up to speed with language features and idioms -- at least in theory.
I'm currently playing around with Frog (Racket based SSG).
