Crystality Language Preview Toolchain

This is a local toolchain for the Crystality smart contract programming language. Crystality is designed for parallel execution of smart contract transactions on sharding blockchains. The Crystality language preview toolchain includes the pre-built Crystality compilers and execution engines, VSCode extensions, and sample smart contracts and execution scripts. Programmers can use VSCode to edit, compile, and execute Crystality smart contracts in a local blockchain simulator and check the execution results, e.g., address states on the chain.
