Yeah, I really like what I've seen from CUE, and obviously the core team behind it is the real deal. I've never worked at Google but I've done quite a bit of research into Borg/BCL. AFAIK Jsonnet is basically a direct decedent of BCL, whereas CUE is the next evolution that tries to fix what BCL got wrong.

CUE was in its infancy when we were evaluating Jsonnet (and I wasn't even familiar with it at the time). If we were picking a data templating language today there's a good chance we would choose it. We very well may end up migrating to it or incorporating it in some way.
