"at most a week or two of concentrated effort" - that's actually becoming increasingly costly due to the ever-increasing opportunity cost attached to basically everything. And it consumes mental resources too. Things may end up becoming more unproductive. And then there is the risk of a new language/toolkit/library/framework becoming under-maintained over the long run. I believe these are the reasons why everyone ends up using ad hoc solutions and doing it their own way that works in a case-by-case basis despite not enjoying as much generalisation as says the new language/toolkit/library/framework which is basically an implementation following specifications designed to solve a more general/abstract problem in a particular way such as described in this article. Nonetheless I'm glad this article has received a good amount of upvotes to appear on the front page of HN. I'm just wondering what the conversion rate is like i.e. how many % of people who clicked in would go through the entire article and learn about CUE lang in its details and how many % of these people would end up using CUE lang. And then there is the question of how many % of these people would stick to CUE lang over the long run (says over the course of 1 year).
