    Please, please - just link to the actual &quot;CUE&quot; project. Not everyone has heard of your favourite thing. The first reference to `CUE` should be a hyperlink.<p>For other people: I&#x27;m pretty sure the author is talking about <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cuelang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cuelang.org&#x2F;</a>

    Is there anyone out there that has actually, in the real world, realized CUE&#x27;s promise of bundling type safety + data&#x2F;configuration + task running in such a way that does not require wrapping it in shell scripts? Can you set up your CI&#x2F;CD pipelines so that it&#x27;s literally just invoking some cue cmd, and have that cmd invocation be reasonably portable?<p>The problem is, once you have to wrap CUE, the loss of flexibility within a special-purpose language like CUE is enough for people to ask why not just bother writing the scripts in a general purpose language with better ecosystem support. And that&#x27;s a hard sell in corporate environments, even ones that find benefit in type safe languages in general, because they can just pick a general purpose language with a static type checker.

      Cue.js has a wasm port. I really like cue for my spec driven development tool Arbiter, it is great for structured specs because it acts like a superset of most configuration&#x2F;programming languages.
