scripting language means what

Answer 1

"Unity does JavaScript" is a marketing lie by Unity... The language that you can use is not really JS, it's some kind of weird adaptation of C# with JS-like syntax. It won't accept normal JS code and you won't be able to run JavaScript modules.

You need to learn the Unity-specific API in JavaScript in order to write the scripts effectively.

Any programming language that supports scripts that is programs that is written for a particular or special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator is called a SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
