You're a bit behind. That API has been out for almost a year now:

You’re right I hadn’t seen this. It’s pretty fresh and I’ve been off minecraft for a few years.

It’s neat, but even by previous FAQ response standards it’s horribly weak. It appears like little more than an ability to make scripts of existing vanilla commands. You can’t make/register blocks, fluids, modify terrain gen, or even trigger individual events. As a framework it isn’t useful for content creators.
