In this video, a speaker explains the history and features of Hugo, an open source static site generator that uses Go templates to render HTML content. The system uses Go templates to avoid redundancy and maximise flexibility, and creates a hierarchy of layouts to minimize code duplication. It is also designed to use a themes directory to create a fully dynamic menu of content types and use it to build dynamic menus. The system uses a fully dynamic tree of sections and other built in features, including syntax highlighting, image processing, eleventh  support, and shortcodes.
