Cue was designed very much with k8s in mind and developed tutorials and integrations for it early on. Dhall was designed pre-k8s. Dhall had to introduce a defaults feature: before that it was completely unusable for k8s. Dhall has functions, which are natural to programmers- particularly from an FP background, Dhall would be trivial to start using. Whereas it takes some getting used to cue's unifications- but there is enough documentation and integration for getting going with k8s to make up for it. Dhall has unique features for stably importing configurations from remote locations.
