I am working on choosing and adopting a static site generator. 

My understanding is that Jekyll is the most popular one. I learned that Jekyll is based on Ruby language.

I do not have any experience with Ruby and it is not on my Career path. I am very much a .NET and C# developer.

Do I need to know Ruby in order to use Jekyll **efficiently**? Or should I compromise and adopt a less popular static site generator that is based on .NET platform?

**Update after having good answers here and some research**

I think we have good response and answers here. Thank you @2583rk and @deveth0

However, I am discouraged by the fact that Jekyll disregards Windows and does not provide official support for it. Windows is quite a popular desktop OS and ignoring it does not look good for a tool that usually (and practically) runs on a "non-server" or desktop environment (It does generates files run on servers though)

I am going to give [Pretzel](https://www.staticgen.com/pretzel) a try as it has all the benefits of Jekyll plus more.
