No, it's not the same. I don't know the history of why they stopped calling it UnityScript, or what the heritage is to J#. Some stuff carries over, but really it's a new language well-tuned for superior performance requirements (of 3D games). Imagine your web browser JS trying to execute thousands of lines of code at 60 FPS. UnityScript classes are far more static - like C++ or C# classes - rather than like JavaScript prototypes.

They never really started calling it UnityScript, it's always been "officially" called Javascript.
