I like Hugo. It's been a gateway drug into building much more interesting and broadly useful websites than just a blog for me, the same way WordPress was a gateway drug for today's PHP devs. Giving you RSS feeds out of the box is a lovely bonus.
Most recently I used Hugo to create a backup archive of the Finnish broadcast news, plus translations, which was all in all very easy thanks to its i18n support: https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/
Hugo also works well with Git submodules, if you want an excuse to learn how those work in more depth. I generally keep one submodule for just the content of my sites themselves, and another one for the theme. A third repo actually brings the two submodules together into a full fledged site.
I even gave a presentation at the local university to first year CS students who wanted to get Hugo up and running. It was a big success!
Both my personal website https://andrew-quinn.me/ and my TIL site run on Hugo: https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/til-site/

I wrote https://github.com/Siilikuin/minimum-viable-hugo a while back to turn setting it up into a simple copy-and-paste operation. You might get some use out of it.
