hyper is already included in Zola due to the reqwest dependency (used in the link_checker and templates components). Replacing Actix with hyper in the serve command reduces the number of dependencies and slightly improves build times and binary size. |

explanations
Hugo gets for the template engine because while it is probably the most powerful template engine in the list (after Jinja2) it personally drives me insane, to the point of writing my own template engine and static site generator. Yes, this is a bit biased.
Zola gets for multi-language support as it only has a basic support and does not (yet) offer things like i18n in templates.
Pelican notes
Many features of Pelican come from plugins, which might be tricky to use because of a version mismatch or inadequate documentation. Netlify supports Python and Pipenv but you still need to install your dependencies manually.
