That sounds like a great idea. The only reason I wrote it in Go originally was that I was very familiar (Go is my day job), and it was expedient. I think CUE probably wasn't mature enough for that at the time too.

That was almost certainly the case!
Thanks, I might suggest this to the CUE community as a project that someone could work on, unless you had a particular interest in it?

I would, but I'm really quite busy at the moment.
I'll leave it marked as "help wanted" for now. Might tweet this out to see if there is anyone who might be interested in learning CUE with a particular goal to help that learning. Otherwise, we might do this as part of a live stream (we have some vague plans for doing more community-oriented stuff).
Noting that https://github.com/Septh/tmlanguage exists, apparently as an enhanced fork.
Currently, the CUE TextMate Grammar is generated from a rather elegant Go specification.
However, as noted in https://github.com/cue-sh/vscode-cue/pull/12#issuecomment-889636913, the TextMate grammar exists in a JSON Schema form (there may be a more official location).
Hence we could quite easily move the specification of the CUE TextMate Grammar from Go to CUE, and have the code generation step be a
cue export
command (again, making sure this is part of CI).@betawaffle - thoughts on this?
