Hub | Mustela

Blazing Fast

Generates thousands of pages per second thanks to a highly optimized pipeline and multi-threading.

🐧

Unix-First

Leverages native syscalls (inotify) for zero-latency filesystem monitoring and extreme performance.

💎

Zero-Copy

Strictly avoids redundant memory allocations by passing pointers across a stateful DSL engine.

🛡️

1.3 MB Binary

No dependencies, no node_modules. Just a single, tiny, statically linked binary ready to run.

🛠️

Deterministic

Guaranteed output even in hostile environments. If the data exists, Mustela will render it.

🔄

Partial Hydration

Smart change detection only re-renders what is necessary, keeping developer feedback loops under 50ms.

The Discipline<br>Agreement.

Mustela wasn't designed in a lab. It was forged as a forensic tool to document truth in environments of extreme psychological stress and chaos.

Engineered for sub-millisecond throughput

Direct HTML stream manipulation

Zero-abstraction philosophy

No automatic tag closing/validation

Requires strict structural discipline

Not recommended for beginners

Performance: The 5,000 Page Challenge

Metric<br>Result

Files Processed<br>5,000 Markdown files

Total Build Time<br>528 ms

Throughput<br>~9,470 pages / second

Peak RAM Usage<br>34.6 MB

CPU Efficiency<br>131% (Multi-threaded I/O)

"Building 5,000 pages in half a second means your site is ready before your monitor can even finish its next refresh cycle."

Mission Critical Design

Traditional tools break when you make a mistake. Mustela pushes through.

Fault Tolerance

Unlike Hugo or Jekyll, Mustela won't halt your mission over a missing tag. It prioritizes data delivery over syntactical perfection.

Zero-Load UI

The Ada-Ruby hybrid syntax is designed to be readable under high cognitive load (stress, exhaustion, emergency).

Offline Autonomy

Single binary. No internet required. Perfect for DIL (Disconnected, Intermittent, Limited) environments.

Hybrid Content Power

A seamless transition from metadata to content that feels like writing a script, not just a document.

# Mixing Markdown & Mustela<br>This is standard Markdown text.

html do

Mustela Insight<br>Reading a variable: &commat;author

end

Modular Templating

This is where you define the structure. Mustela utilizes a stateful DSL, allowing you to compose HTML components with zero rendering overhead.

theme.mu

meta do<br>title: Mustela<br>index: main<br>end

html as main do

&commat;lang"><br>&commat;html[head]<br>&commat;html[body]

end

html as head do

&commat;title<br>&commat;html[style]

end

html as body do

&commat;html[header]<br>&commat;view

&commat;title &copy; &commat;date_now

end

Modular Ecosystem

Mustela isn't a silo. It's a high-performance core that generates clean, modern scaffolding ready for any stack.

Render content at sub-millisecond speeds with V , while letting Bun or Vite handle the heavy lifting of the modern JavaScript ecosystem.
