## What it is
Cryogen is a simple static site generator written in Clojure, shipped as a Leiningen/deps-new template. It compiles Markdown or AsciiDoc content into HTML with Selmer templates, and generates sitemaps, RSS feeds, tags, and syntax highlighting automatically.

## Use cases
- generate a static blog with clojure
- build a documentation site from markdown
- create a static website with rss and sitemap
- publish a blog to github pages or netlify
- static site generator with asciidoc support

## When to choose
- you want a simple, database-free static site generator in the Clojure ecosystem
- you want built-in RSS, sitemap, tags, and fast incremental compilation
- you prefer Markdown or AsciiDoc content with Selmer HTML templates

## When to avoid
- you need a dynamic site with server-side data or a CMS backend
- you are not comfortable with Clojure/Leiningen tooling
- you need a large plugin/theme ecosystem like Hugo or Jekyll

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: static-site-generator, templating, markdown
- domain: web-development, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting, cli, cross-platform
- tags: clojure, blogging, selmer, asciidoc, rss, sitemap, sass
