One thing that people on here might find interesting: Unity uses Mono as an embedded VM. Three .Net languages are officially supported as scripting languages (Boo, C# and a ECMAscript-a-like). Yes, C# is used as a DSL.
All that said, it's incredible to see it included at all. Boo is a fantastic language that's getting better by the day, but it's not well known at all. It's great to see even their level of support.
This is a very good news. I've been using Unity for a few months and frustrated to adjust my clock to an earlier date to get more evaluation days :-)
Unity is a high quality and very practical product. I'm using it to develop an iPhone game. New features with this release seem good, like version control support, better C# integration and optimizations.

I wish the boo support was more "official". It's terribly neglected compared to the c# and js offerings.

This is a pretty big deal. Unity is a fantastic way to make games. It has sophisticated graphics capabilities and seamless cross-platform integration.

I've just been playing with it. It's extremely cool.
Definitely recommended if you have any interest in games development.

Though this is good news, it still appears that you have to pay at least $399 to publish to an iphone.
