Godot game engine reaches 2.0

That's an over generalisation. Unity uses JavaScript, Boo, and C#. Cryengine and Stingray use Lua. They are those exact languages, not "like" those languages.

As far as I'm aware, Unity does not have JavaScript. It has the superficially similar "UnityScript" [0].

UnityScript is a JavaScript-like language derived from the Boo compiler. Essentially, boo with the input parser modified to consume an input stream that looks like JavaScript. No first-class functions, no Object class, etc. I feel like it was designed to give people already comfortable with JS or AS2 an easy transition. I always recommend c# instead.

Thanks, sorry, you're right about UnityScript! I try to avoid it if I can help it ;)
