Are you talking about https://cuelang.org/docs/tutorials/tour/intro/ ? Even that is a bit light on detail for real usage, while https://github.com/cue-lang/cue/blob/v0.4.3/doc/tutorial/kub... is kinda rambling. I don't think that there's "One true way" to introduce these concepts; How you teach cue to a config-generation novice is very different from someone who's used to using an IDE to generate kubernetes YAML.

Spec [0] is very good + practice with small files.

I find specs nearly unreadable when trying to first digest a language; While invaluable for advanced usage and implementation, I can't read a BNF-Style Spec and make heads or tails of what's going on unless I also have an annotated example next to it.
