CUE Does It All, But Can It Literate?

CUE is the Swiss Army knife of file generation. It is the tool you grab when you need to generate complex JSON, validate YAML, or generally stop configuration files from ruining your life. It slices, it dices, it ensures your integers are actually integers. But guess what else it can be? It turns out, it is also a surprisingly effective Literate Programming tool. This is important because, let’s be honest, the current king of this hill is org-mode. And while org-mode is powerful, it is also a bit of a golden cage. It works perfectly as long as you never leave the Emacs ecosystem. But the moment you try to export a workflow to a colleague who uses VS Code, you realize you have accidentally signed up for vendor lock-in. You want your documentation - your “literate code” - to be portable, not a magic spell that only works inside one specific editor.
