A new configuration language. Yes. That's exactly what we need.
We do indeed. XML is awful, YAML is a clusterfuck, JSON is often insufficient, and so is INI. TOML looks promising, but might not make it out of its niche. If Cue is basically a better YAML with built-in schemas, that sounds pretty good.
They should just foist BCL and Borgmon upon the gullible masses. All cloud development will be set back years while people (try to) figure it all out.
We used to joke that open-sourcing Borgmon would be an industry-disabling move, but Prometheus is very popular which just proves there's a lot of people with poor taste in software. FWIW Piccolo has also leaked into the industry in the form of Pystachio.
That's cool!
Seems like an interesting language, but I'm very disappointed that my first attempt to view example code took 5 clicks. The most important part of any programming language website is a short example snippet: put it above the fold on the front page!
Talk about first world problems. That this caused you to be "very disappointed" would suggest you need to take a step back and reevaluate your priorities.

Ya, first rule of PL promotion is that you have an example snippet of code in the first screen seen on your web page.

There's no difference.
There is a large difference between battle-tested tech maintained by a properly staffed team and a proof of concept built by someone in their spare time. The title certainly made me think that it was the former, even though it's the latter.

> maintained by a properly staffed team This seems to describe very few Google products. Almost daily, I have the following thought: "Has anyone at Google actually even used this product?" (Most often with Assistant, but definitely with other products, too)
This might cause confusion with cuesheets, which already exist and have the same extension: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)
Or worst, it could be seen as a first attempt of takeover. What will be the next targeted extension?
