What? No... static web pages can have JavaScript, but everybody gets the same page over the wire. Dynamic web pages have some sort of program generating the resulting page for you, like PHP or Ruby; they can return different HTML for the same URL. That's dynamic. It has nothing to do with if you're the client or the server.

Lots of things suck when you're 12. Speak for yourself, though, HTML really isn't that difficult.

You are not obligated to update Hugo if your version works for you.

I promise you, HTML is not a hassle... It's markup. You describe the page, and then... you're done. And if you don't use weird, niche tags, it'll work basically forever.

Apparently "raw HTML" now means "just enough HTML to load a Markdown renderer into a JavaScript virtual machine". Amazing.

Lmao no you don't, you use a little HTML to load JavaScript to render Markdown.

Here's how you write a blog with raw HTML:

1. Write some HTML to a file. (No loading third-party JavaScript.)

2. Host that file.

That's it, that's the whole thing.
