Unity is older than the Core runtime. They had to use Mono as their base.

  Assuming they had C# or .NET as a constraint. I'd wager not, they just wanted something that would work for "scripting".

    C# and their own custom clr language was the only supported languages, so yes.
    • fulafel 3y ago
      There were lots of other languages with support available. I don't think Unity had anyone mandating they had to use .NET or C#.

        It used to be C# along with JS and Boo (a Python for .NET). All docs had examples in order of preference for JS, C#, Boo.

          They called it javascript, but it was not. Not even very similar.
