I know of four [`PHP`](https://www.php.net/) static site generators.

1. [**Jigsaw**](https://jigsaw.tighten.com/):
   [Laravel Blade](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/blade#slots) templates.
   [Source Code](https://github.com/tighten/jigsaw#readme)
1. [**Couscous**](https://couscous.io/):
   [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html#synopsis) templates.
   [Source Code](https://github.com/CouscousPHP/Couscous#readme)
1. [**Sculpin**](https://sculpin.io/):
   [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html#synopsis) templates.
   [Source Code](https://github.com/sculpin/sculpin#readme)
1. [**Spress**](https://symfony-cms.net/spress):
   [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html#synopsis) templates.
   [Source Code](https://github.com/spress/spress#readme)

The key advantage is obvious: dynamicity "technically" comes for free.
Feedback/debugging loops "can" be made instantaneous, and scaling to a large
output is probably not too difficult.

One downside is that corporate minded developers and consumers online will think
you're a noob for choosing `PHP`.
