I'm genuinely proud to have just finished and published a marquee piece that explains how #CUE makes handling #configuration so much nicer!

It's here, on the main #cuelang site: https://cuelang.org/docs/concept/how-cue-enables-configuration/

If, like me, you really dislike hand-wrangling #YAML and #JSON then please do have a read -- and let me what you think 😁

How CUE enables configuration

Configuration is one of CUE’s core tasks. People often start using CUE because it makes it safer and easier to produce new configuration files and to validate existing files - but its capabilities run deeper. In this guide we’ll begin with the basics of how CUE makes configuration better, and then explore the potential of some of its more advanced features for configuration. Here’s what you’ll find in this guide: Validating existing configuration files Type checking Generating configurations Reducing boilerplate Tooling and automation Abstractions versus direct access

I only learned properly a couple of weeks back about how elegant #CUE's multi-for-loop construct is!

Because in #ConfigMgmt land we're /so/ often dealing with spiky, nested objects, the nested "for" loop has a lovely indent-saving form: here, the loop starting on L37 incorporates 3 for elements, 1 "if" guard, & 1 additional temporary allocation ("let"), whilst letting me iterate over the /innermost/ elements of a (resource|data).<level1>.<level2> shaped struct 🙂

#cuelang is genuinely awesome!

A #Terraform #IaC #ConfigMgmt straw poll for you:

I need to inject some kind of side-effect-free marker into some (many!) TF config expressions/interpolations.

All 4 of the following 1-line options work, with no performance difference between them.

Please help me by selecting any/all that, if you saw them in a (.tf.json) config, you feel *wouldn't* confuse or annoy you ...

"${ some.expression /* typecheck:number */ }"

"${ some.expression }${ /* typecheck:number */""}"

"${ true ? some.expression : "typecheck:number" }"

"${ try(some.expression, "typecheck:number") }"
