This is wonderful, thank you! A relieve for devops/YAML engineers that need to reason about many key/values coming from many places. Because in the end this is all there is for the user interface of IaC/XaaS, k8s and all cloud apis. There was some effort for "configuration management" but few realizes the complexity, the many layers and aspects there is to "it". YAML ain't mearly enough... But the space of "configuration PLs" (Dhall,Nickel,Pkl,KCL,CUE,Jsonnet,etc.) is still young. Biggest problem I see is usability, CUE focuses on it so people shouldn't be afraid. But it is also little behind the others in term of features, but also have the greatest potential! IMO any new tool in the cloud space that uses code abstractions cannot be serious by not thinking about the language. Transitions may be though but they ough to happen.
