Features
Secure.
A nanoc site does not contain any executable code—just static HTML pages. nanoc does not run on the server; exploiting nanoc or Ruby in order to wreak havoc on a nanoc-powered site is therefore simply impossible.
Fast.
Serving static HTML pages straight off the hard disk of a web server is much faster than running a PHP or Ruby script, querying the database, assembling the requested page, and finally sending the output to the client.
Previewable.
You can preview every change you make to your site before uploading it. Compile your site, make sure everything is just like you want it, and upload the site when you’re satisfied.
