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 YAC

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?
