  Discontinued CUE has moved to https://github.com/cue-lang/cue (by cuelang)

  

Has anyone taken a look at Cue who can share any experiences?

It's mentioned on the site as an alternative to Yaml. Recently watched (~half of) this intro to it: https://youtu.be/fR_yApIf6jU

It used an off-the-shelf library, I don't remember which one anymore. I don't think it really matters though -- YAML is a format, not a parser.

Per the YAML docs [0], "Creating a fully compliant parser has proven almost impossible." Pretty much every YAML parser out there is going to have its own idiosyncratic subset that it handles. That doesn't make them not-YAML.

(This does make YAML a horrible data exchange format. No argument there!)

  Hjson support for Sublime Text

  

After evaluating several config file formats, I settled on JSON5 for work projects. Only issue for me is that sublime text doesn't have highlighting for it, though the hjson highlighting from package control works well enough. I should write one for JSON5...

Ironically the file format for sublime highlighting plugins is in YAML.
