      Whoa, thank you. You made me look up for 'condition system in Clojure' and I found these:

      He definitely is using Emacs for most of it. He authors his posts in org files, and uses ox-hugo to export to Hugo.

      I do something similar for my blog, except Pelican is my backend.

      If so can you reccomend (link here) some of the resources which got you started?

      FWIW there are blog posts from the same author of the Emacs setup: https://andreyor.st/tags/game1/

      Sadly, it seems it is just hugo. He mentions hugo in a post[1].

      There’s also Kakoune, which is very similar to Helix.

      See https://andreyor.st/posts/2023-09-20-why-kakoune/
