I am learning Hugo... I love the way it is fast but its templating syntax is just horrible... Jekyll is slow compared to Hugo but Jekyll template syntax Liquid makes it fun to develop static sites using Jekyll... your thougths?

Jekyll 4 is actually very fast. I've had the same sensation with Jekyll 3.8 when I was playing around with GitHub Pages (which hasn't upgraded to version 4 yet). It took around 4 seconds to build the site despite the fact that I only changed one file in an unmeaningful way.
What I did to resolve the problem was the following: I set my
JEKYLL_ENVenvironment variable to "development" and added a conditional in my Gemfile which includedjekyllv4 when I'm developing andgithub-pagesotherwise. Then I ranbundle installto update my local packages, et voilà – Making changes now rebuilds the site pretty much instantly. I only have to make sure I don't use any new features of Jekyll 4 while GitHub doesn't support it, but that's a compromise I am happy to make.Side note: I also use
live.jsso my site refreshes when I hit CTRL+S.
