The record

Purpose: Shulkerscript is a scripting language and CLI for creating Minecraft data packs.
Syntax: Its syntax is similar to other programming languages and adds features beyond `.mcfunction` files.
Functions: A single source file can generate multiple function files that can be called from Minecraft or other Shulkerscript files.
Compiler: The project says it is written in Rust and describes fast compile times and a small binary size.
Playground: An online playground lets users try Shulkerscript in a browser without installing it.
Install platforms: The installation guide provides instructions for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Editor integration: An optional official Visual Studio Code extension provides syntax highlighting and snippets.
Build and distribution: The CLI can build projects into a `dist` directory, watch for file changes, and create a ZIP archive of a compiled project.
Language features: The language supports functions, imports, tags, conditionals, execute blocks, groupings, literal commands, and embedded Lua code.
Minecraft-specific behavior: Functions annotated with `#[tick]` can run every tick, and functions annotated with `#[load]` can run when a data pack is loaded.
Output limitation: The syntax guide says at least one function must be annotated with `tick`, `load`, or `deobfuscate`, or no `.mcfunction` files will be generated.
Availability: The guide offers installation from GitHub releases, installation with cargo-binstall, or building from source with Rust and Cargo.
Project maturity: The documentation labels the playground and Lua integration as work in progress.
Contributing: The project invites contributions to its CLI and compiler repositories on GitHub.
