Having never used UnityScript (C# is fantastic) but having seen snippets - isn't it mostly syntactically equivalent to Typescript? I imagine there might be some appeal to that, especially if your server is running NodeJS.

The only lasting complaint here is "the oven does things for you, which means you won't learn to do things yourself." Which is ridiculous, because that's the point of automation. Every other issue (bugs, price) can be ch

I've started one of these, a few months ago. It worked pretty well until we picked ng-book, and interest tapered off. My observation is that if the book is too relevant to the day-job, people will just end up talking about work problem
