I'll add that it takes a special brand of courage to ask "Why has everything got to be a file" in front of a Plan 9 crowd ;) The off-track discussions with Daniel were enlightening. I think his perspective on "NoT" is quite valuable, and has inspired some ideas since I got back. ron minnich

The author of the paper not only helped get the conference going this year, he worked hard this and last year to make sure our youtube channel worked. He also has done a lot of work to get faculty from U. Bamberg in Germany on board. The author was a major part of making IWP9 2024 go so well.

Briefly, no. It's a constraint language, and it happens to be able to produce yaml etc as a side-process. I've used it to enforce constraints in a tax application. "Enforce" understates what actually can be done. On Tue, 16 Apr 2024 at 20:31, G B via 9fans <9fans@9fans.net> wrote: > Isn't Cue

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?

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. On Tue, 16 Apr 2024 at 15:19, wrote:
