    Hi.
    I am a newbie. I am already learning Plain javascript. I don't want to move to c# now. What is the difference between plain javascript (used for web page development) and Unityscript?
    Can I make higly interactive immersive games in Unityscript?

    The difference is just about everything. I wouldn't even consider them to be close to the same language.

    Anything you can make with UnityScript you could make with C# - the engine compiles both languages to essentially the same IL.
