so much for lightweight markup 

Rendering the same 6-paragraph, 65-line source markup file (reStructuredText or pandoc's Markdown flavor) into a 154-line HTML 5 target file:

py36-rst2html5: 1.05 seconds

py36-docutils: 0.65 seconds

hs-pandoc: 2.50 seconds

Rendering the same source file content through Jamal, "Just Another Macro Language," a perl script from 1997 & last updated 2010:

jamal: 0.05 seconds

These look tiny now, but what happens when I go over 100 pages then tweak the template?

I'm done with fast-changing dynamic frameworks & CMS all-in-ones with even half the dependencies of "Hello World" in Ruby on Rails.
