Yes but YOU won't be writing or seeing yaml, Cue will output the yaml and run kubectl (I'm already doing this to great relief)

Which is step 2 of my Enterprise adoption strategy. Step 1 is starting with validation, step 3 and beyond is where the real fun starts!



Hope that works for you ! Your statement above has nothing to do with yaml being on the way out...


well, then perhaps the growing frustration with a configuration language where meaning depends on invisible chars is an argument. And then what helm and others are doing text interpolating and add helpers for managing indentation.

There are many experiments into alternatives happening right now, so I do believe yaml's days are numbered. I'm actively replacing it where ever I encounter it with a far superior alternative. Cue is far more than a configuration language however, worth the time to learn and adopt at this point.


There are so many configuration files format and language already. The problem you describe seems to be fixed by XML for example
