POVray has been around for a long time. Are there any new major capabilities added in recent years?

  No. It is not really useful in any way these days, not even for recreational purposes I would argue. There are better alternatives. But people like the nostalgia so it pops up here now and then.

    What is the superior alternative for a purely text-based scene description? (honest question; maybe there is some obvious answer but when I google it I get tutorials on how to render text in 3d :/ )

      dunno about "superior", but there's been lots of stuff in that vein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRML I like OpenSCAD for objects, but it's very likely not what you're looking for for scenes. I have not dug here either: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/scripting/index.html https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/scripting...
