I am still processing everything I learned last week at TheJam.dev (if you missed it, you can watch the recordings for free here). One of the things that surprised me was the diversity of SSGs chosen by the speakers. I'd say a year ago, Next.js was heavily represented by a wide margin. This year, the most used were all JavaScript-based tools starting with Nuxt.js, then Astro, Eleventy, Gatsby, SvelteKit, and finally Next.js.
Obviously, this doesn't change the fact that Next.js is still the most widely used by Jamstack developers. It also doesn't mean that the non-JavaScript SSGs are going away either, as they remain well-maintained and reliable options. But it does show that there's still plenty of room for other SSGs to thrive and that, perhaps, tastes are changing a bit.

Make Eleventy the Next Thing You Learn
