When I stopped being an SRE at Google, my most immediate thought was relief that I would never, ever, have to deal with BCL/GCL again. After 6 months outside Google, I desperately wished for BCL/GCL to be everywhere, because all other config languages were just plain broken. And more annoyingly, there's no better way to describe it than "I have seen better, just trust me". CUE seems to be a step forward. Flabbergast looked like it might have been a contender. The latter is DEFINITELY inspired by BCL/GCL. At some point, I will have to sit down with CUE and try to re-implement the "perfect little horror" in it (it should be impossible IFF CUE is not Turing-complete, but it actually turns out that there are edge cases of configuration where you want that Turing-completeness).
