 Isn't Cue YACL (Yet Another Configuration Language)? Absolutely no way one can deprecate YAML and just use Cue, so all one is doing essentially is adding one more thing to learn and keep updated. And since it hasn't released 1.0, what happens if the new YACL never materializes but was adopted? Good luck ripping that out to return to YAML.

 Although cue itself is more generally useful, applied that way it's a coping mechanism that indeed doesn't address the fundamental point:like those Sendmail configuration languages that compiled down into the rewrite language instead of just replacing that.

while it may help -- this is just stacking complexity on top of
complexity.

kubernetes may be a tool that some of us need to deal with for
our jobs, but it has no place in a well designed rethink of the
world.
