C# or JavaScript. Which choose for Unity?

@Engelard
IMHO, having programmed in both for many years, JavaScript is just horrible/offensive but is very, very useful for future potential jobs, C# is lovely and far preferable for a good experience but may be (a lot) more limited for job prospects. And btw, although both have similar-ish syntax to C++, C# is a still a decently typed language and limits you to doing sensible things like you are used to, while JS lets you do anything you like and blow everything up....

I would say go with JS,

If you learn that, at the very least it would come in handy when you decide to do something with QML ;-)

(JavaScript is more popular and uglier)

In what way it is uglier?) There is only two ugly things i see in C# is that it only may be applied on Windows, and second - it was made by Microsoft.

That one is from 2009, but tnx anyway)

I Probably should explore and learn both, assuming that i already know one language, it should'nt be hard.

Thank you all for answers!

2009

and ? this is general topic, not a precise documentation, so the main ideas are still true, last activity on that topic was in 2016.

Note here is Qt forum not Unity3d

You're asking for opinion, so obviously I'm using my bias here. I very much agree with @JonB - JS is powerful, you can do really magical things with it, but it's very easy to make a mess out of it. No strong typing, horrible "class" syntax (with it's prototypes and whatnot) that is hard to understand. I prefer languages which offer a bit more organized structure (no wonder I'm a C++ guy :D ).
