Maybe it's just not the kind of thing I do, I'm not sure I see the huge need for dynamism.

For my personal blog, I wrote a simple static site generator in Python. It converts markdown files into articles, an index page, and an RSS feed. The HTML templates and CSS are written by hand. It's required minimal maintenance over the years, and for the most part Just Works. After an edit, I rebuild the site on my local machine, and deploy with `rsync`.

I do have a couple of "dynamic" things hosted behind the same domain. For those, I configure nginx to reverse-proxy to a local service - which could be a python script, or anything else.

The only real advantage I can see to my setup, beyond personal preference, is that redeploys come with precisely 0 downtime. Presumably, if you're updating a binary, there's a brief moment where the old one shuts down and the new one starts up (unless you're doing some kind of clever reverse-proxy switchover)
