Compare and Contrast to Cue

[ghostsquad]

I'm curious about Cue (https://cue.googlesource.com/cue) and how it compares to jsonnet. It seems that jsonnet in a way, can handle similar validations and constraints via errors and asserts.

If anyone has more information, please post. 😊

There is an issue about it in the Cue repo: cuelang/cue#33. One note I have there is that IMO there is too much emphasis on OO features in Jsonnet there (and not enough emphasis on Jsonnet being a decent functional language).

Cue is a genuinely new approach for dealing with configuration and its programming model is like nothing else I have seen. Jsonnet, on the other hand, is pretty much a textbook functional language.
