Dev builds his blog on a custom TeX-like markup language with an OCaml parser and SSG

zetalyrae highlights Roman Kashitsyn's blog mmapped.blog: the author designed a custom TeX-like markup language, wrote a parser for it in OCaml, and built his own static site generator to publish everything.
The full source is open-sourced at roman-kashitsyn/mmapped.blog, including:
- blogware: his homegrown static site generator
- tree-sitter-rftex: a tree-sitter grammar for the custom language
- A .claude/skills/review-article setup for AI-assisted article review
- A simple Make-based build; make render produces a fully static site
A nice reference for minimalists who enjoy self-hosting and building their own publishing toolchain.
