The syntax of the header is something new, but the templating language's filters are something I'm already familiar with, +using Jinja with Flask and Django already (great, a third dialect of both similar and completely different filters to get used to!). + +GitHub pages is interesting too. The main feature is not in its performance, features or ease of use +(the documentation is sort of hard to read), but in the fact that's free. Free static site hosting with Jekyll, +custom domains and HTTPS supported.

Your blog, your interests, your skills, +everything I've read on around you is super cool. Even you website has it's own unique LaTeX-like style. +I have no idea if you had inspiration or came up with everything from the font to the [fleurons][fleurons] to the super cool date icons on the index, +but this is one of the most memorable and true developer sites I've come across. + +I've cleaned up most of the pages and made the repositories structure a little easier to look through, and I'm going to continue doing that, +but overall, this is Azabani's work.
