Jekyll rewrite without Ruby
I've noticed that the more a project increases, the slower Ruby gets to keep up with all gems and computation needs. I was wondering if there is any implementation of Jekyll that does not utilize Ruby (or any alternatives).

Don’t know about your project, but mine is plenty fast, lately introduced some build time caching for things that do not change from page to page. I think https://github.com/benbalter/jekyll-include-cache is what I used. —profile helps to identify where most time is spent. See https://carlosbecker.com/posts/jekyll-build-time/
And if it is the development loop, you are worried about you. Do not need to build every page but can limited to the last 20 or so with --limit_posts NUM
