This is actually one of my main concerns with CUE and something I'd like the community overall to keep in mind. There is a high chance in my opinion that CUE ends up being adopted as a silver bullet for configuration just for being cargo culted as something that is from Google and the drive for dependence by open source users sometimes, sort of similar to what happened with Kubernetes. That modules and package management in CUE are modeled after what Go did is also questionable IMO but makes sense since the project is Go based. CUE is a good tool for validation and has its uses, but Dhall has some really neat innovations that make it an exciting project so worth looking at both at least and compare first.
