Yeah, same experience. We had to write our own “terraform” like tooling to make use of it (retry loops and the like). It has (had? This was a couple years ago) no awareness, for example, of AWS, so out comes the SDK and Go.

“Why not just create templates with the SDK, constrain configurable fields with regex?”, I offered.

“CUE has typed feature structures!”, they said.

“FML.”, I thought.

It didn’t simplify configuration at all.

What simplifies configuration is all the people that know an existing tool and can be productive in it. As a late-comer CUE has none of that advantage.

Businesses want to solve business problems. Not meditate on one problem in perpetuity.
