DPScript

DPScript is a transpiled programming language to aid in Datapack development, inspired by CBScript.

Features

• Extremely comfortable syntax
• A friendly and familiar syntax
• An IR form to allow other syntaxes to grow on top of DPScript's framework
• Advanced conditionals
• Scoreboard & store manipulation
• A batteries-included standard library (WIP)
• Full array support
• Support for loops
• Compile-time constants
• Easy text components and NBT manipulation
• Functions & subroutines
• Tags
• Init & Tick blocks
• Modules
• Imports & Exports
• A language server for auto-completion (Coming Soon!)
• Support for your favorite IDEs (WIP)
• A fully-fledged package registry and build system (Coming Soon!)
• And much more!

DPScript features a fully custom tokenizer, lexer, validator, and AST to provide an extremely comfortable syntax while being very stable. By merging all imported files into a single AST it can provide the best error detection and validation possible. Don't worry anymore about strange issues when making datapacks!
