No Node, No Go, No Rust. Just pure C, zero dependencies, and raw speed. Built for developers who love control and performance.
Modern DX with 1972 Power
We combined Jekyll's and ELeventy 11ty elegant frontmatter experience with C's raw performance. No GC pauses, no heavy runtime, just a single 400KB binary that builds your entire site in milliseconds.
Built with pure C, direct memory allocation and mmap file reading. 1000 pages in 0.4s. Hugo is 0.8s, Eleventy is 12s. CAX wins.
Supports hero.title nested frontmatter, collection controllers like content/posts.md, pagination with prev/next fix, tags, and Liquid-like {% for %} {% if %} templates.
No Node_modules, no Go mod, no libyaml. Just gcc and make. Binary <500KB, runs anywhere from Raspberry Pi to your server.
