Third time I've seen CUE mentioned in this context in as many days.
It's mostly a rebranding (verdverm/veg), but also want to tighten things up in the process. Dagger and ADK have also stabilized their APIs on new major versions. CUE has some new features I would like to work in as well
Conceptually, and most of DX wise, it should be nearly the same.
