    There are tons of forum threads on this question. Google knows all the pros and cons of C# and UnityScript.

    C#.

    For the simple reason that it's the only language you can find answers to your problems with google. Since Unity's "JavaScript" is as far from real JavaScript as the Urals are from Mississippi, googling for help with that is a lost cause.

    Support for Boo is getting dropped, probably since the language never took of.

    c#, but be warned certain simple things are very unintuitive and differ greatly from javascript.

    Like what exactly? So far I have seen more unintuitive things in UnityScript then in C#

    I was referring to Javascript being more intuitive than C#.
