#2This might cause confusion with cuesheets, which already exist and have the same extension: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sheet_(computing)

#3Seems 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!

#4Is there any reason to use this over something like .yaml?

So it’s a google branded yaml?
Let’s raise a glass to our blue eyed comrades who’ll adopt this fully, only for google to decide in 2-3 years to completely and aggressively kill it again for no apparent reason.

I didn't even have to scroll down to see an example of code and usage.

#8Very interesting, I can think of a lot of places where this would be useful for managing infrastructure.
I highly recommend reading about some of the internals, it is making me rethink a lot of how configuration should be done.

Where? I don't see any example on the page linked to.
Edit: Ah, the code example only appears for desktop browsers (or at least, browser windows wider than a phone screen).

#10Seems really interesting after a quick read-through. Specs that allow range-based validation look useful, and the structural declarations also feel like they'll help reduce a lot of boilerplate and repetition. I wonder how this compares with Dhall and Jsonnet, both of which I've been looking into as a safer alternative to templated YAML. With Google putting its weight behind this I'm curious if it'll start finding its way into K8s.
