This is not my repo, so all creds go to the author: https://github.com/1j01/

But to reply to your question, what really amazed me a year a go was this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKPYx4CEIlM

After watching that, I feel in love with all the possibilities that comes with interactions one can do with anything that is represented in a virtual 3D environment.

So instead of learning Three.js, I started to work with Unity since they are multi-platform and have UnityScript which is a lot similar to Javascript. Due to my background as a web developer, it was a very comfortable transition.

UnityScript seems cool but it looks like I need to download a 350mb executable to run it so I guess it's for a different use case.

It's pretty much only for use inside Unity itself as a game development language.

I have a small hope, since Microsoft appears to be opening up DotNet, that Unity will itself one day be able to work with any of the DotNet languages.

You can use C# in Unity. I was under the impression that most people do.
