Expose looks very impressive, and was posted here 74 days ago:

Expose is great, I came across that too when it was shared here. The author has created some beautiful themes and the example sites look great.

I was keen to contribute to it (to try add other template engines, caching, etc.) however it is written in bash and the script is over 900 lines and doesn't have a test suite yet. Not being too proficient in bash I was a bit anxious about diving in and contributing.

author here. I wouldn't call myself proficient in bash either :]

I think I'd like for expose to remain a simple(ish) script that you don't have to think too much about. For something more fully-featured with actual templating, caching, plugins etc bash is not quite the right tool imo.

I'm glad there are more options in the "photo-oriented SSG" space.
