CUE — A Type System for the Cloud
summary
CUE is an open‑source language that treats configuration as programs and as JSON/YAML first‑class values, with native Go interop and arbitrary‑precision numbers. It models types as set intersections and unions so declarations refine values by intersection, enables IPv4 validation and Go‑style date parsing, and composes policies by merging constraints pointwise. It generates JSON/YAML outputs, validates configs statically to preserve meaning (type‑safety), targets Kubernetes and cloud DSLs, and ships tooling + community integrations on GitHub and Slack.
