Byzantine Systems: Blogging with Gleam, Org-Mode and Pandoc
Summary
Byzantine Systems presents an Emacs-centric blogging workflow that uses Org-mode as the authoring source, with d2 for diagrams, Babel for code blocks, Pandoc for conversion, and a Nix-based reproducible environment. The post argues for keeping writing inside Emacs and demonstrates a typed, static-site pipeline using Gleam, Lustre, Blogatto, and related tooling. It covers the rationale, architecture, and reproducibility benefits of this approach, including code examples and diagrams-as-code concepts.
