In what programming language and IDE is Unity written in?

Hello, I’m new so i am sorry if i am posting in the wrong section.
Now, let’s go the questions.
I wonder in what programming lan guage unity engine is writen in. I tried to search google but i couldn’t find any concrete results. Some say C#, other’s say C++ and some says Microsoft Visual C# and Visual C++.
What programming language is unity written in?
In what IDE? Visual Studio or something else?
Thanks and please reply.

What does it matter?

Wikipedia says:

The core of Unity is written in C++, most of the editor is C# including some things like the Terrain engine.

I know that some of the developers have a very decent understanding of Visual Studio, but I am not sure whether its their official IDE.

I am asking because i am planning to buy Source code license and i use Visual Studio 2013, but i don’t know if i can open and edit unity source code in visual studio and them build and compile it or not. All i know that Visual Studio has a language called Visual C++, unsure if it’s possible to convert unity source from native C/C++ into a Visual Studio Solution file or not.

Contact Unity directly. They know it.

Ok, i will, but where do i contact them? I don’t know because i am a new customer.

Funny thread. Yet I came here because of this curiosity too. Instead of always relying on Unity, I really want to make something like it using Visual Studio. Haha.

Please don’t necro threads. This one is from 2013! Let’s close this thread.
