Future of CAX: What’s Next for C Static Site Generator

Where We Are

  • [x] Frontmatter nested objects
  • [x] Liquid-like templates
  • [x] Collections + Pagination
  • [x] Tags + Sitemap

What’s Next

v0.2

  • Image resize with stb_image.h
  • Shortcodes: {{< youtube id >}}

v0.3

  • Incremental builds (only changed files)
  • WASM build: cax.wasm runs in browser

v1.0

  • Plugin system with dlopen
  • cax deploy to Cloudflare Pages

Philosophy: Keep binary <500KB, zero deps, <1s builds forever.
