 Gojekyll is a clone of the [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com) static site generator, written in the [Go](https://golang.org) programming language. It provides `build` and `serve` commands, with directory watch and live reload.
 
+Gojekyll is intended as an homage to Jekyll, and as a possible alternative in situations (such as iterative development of sites that don't use unsupported features) where speed is more important than total compatibility.
