it's been a little while since i first looked at it, but i think one of the
example application is exactly how one might use it to avoid 80k lines of
yaml that you must look at directly.

while it may help -- this is just stacking complexity on top of
complexity.

Not sure how much the Cue language will help wh
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.

deprecate YAML and just use Cue, so all one is doing essentially is adding one

happens if the new YACL never materializes but was adopted?
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.
