Maybe not the best thread to ask, but - is there an ELI5 explanation of what exactly CUE is and what is it for? I've landed on that website several times in the last two years, and I could never make heads or tails of it. That the name is just a mix of random, unrelated verbs doesn't help.

Its a really well thought out way to combine schemas, templates, and data into one language. Its a superset of JSON and it provides a functional interface to validate inputs, outputs, and configurations.

It integrates very nicely with go and can convert between go structs into cue structs and vice versa.
