Personally I love using Cuelang, but there's something about it that makes, at least my colleagues really reluctant to adopt it. Not sure what it is. They don't see the benefit.

My gut feeling so far is that they don't know the benefits of using strictly typed languages. They only see upfront cost of braincycles and more typing. They rather forego that and run into problems once it's deployed.

Go was the first language where I deeply appreciated strong typing. I’d used other before but it was go to definition working 100% of the time that did it for me. Maybe start there with them?

CUE is a close cousin to Go, the authors are deeply involved in Go. Marcel worked with Rob Pike on the design of CUE. I could see how it’d feel foreign, without first appreciating Go maybe CUE wouldn’t have clicked for me.
