I'm looking into static generated sites again.. (never created one professionally), how do you handle forms without passing it off to third party?

I have interest in zola but wondering if anyone has hacked it to allow some backend manipulation. I know it kind of defeats the purpose but interested in some minimal backend use cases.

I guess you could pass off to something like backend(.) mysite(.)com

    Cool. So I could bet a hundred million on a candidate, my predictions will show up in cbs reporting (acting like a campaign since it influenced the report), then I spend 50 million on ads supporting my candidate..

    Profit.

    It wasn't really oop that was the problem although it may have provided the plain for the pain as I also didn't like Java much. However, I did appreciate oop in PHP when I went back to it to build a couple sites about 7 or 8 years after bailing from that language.

    It's been over 7 years since I finally jumped off that train (pun intended), so it's going to be difficult to boil down nit pics about it but a few things stand out.

    Yes it is very opinionated and it seems to want to constrain the programmer to its data entry style of development rather than let the programmer build with code.

    I don't think it's just because it's a framework because I've been in other frameworks (outside of Ruby), and it still felt like I was actually coding compared to ror.

    The culture felt like I am finding a gem for everything instead of actually implementing it myself.

    Like I said earlier, it felt like data entry. But could just be me.
