Scripting inside Rimworld with Unity: Impossible? With java it is a 3 liner.
There are quite a lot of ways to run scripting languages in C#. I've no idea what JSR223 is but .NET has DLR for example. There are also multiple libraries: IronPython, NLua, Jint and Jurassic for Javascript. There's also older version of CS-Script working with .NET Framework.

Is there any way to use Javascript to code in Unity anymore?
You can. Embeding lua is a trivial task, and I'm reasonably sure there even are plug-and-play solutions for that, and for JS there's JINT.

Running custom code from users
I personally use Jint (a multi-platform Javascript interpreter) since Roslyn is not available on mobile. It basically has the same kind of functionality as Roslyn, but it's JS. JS is well-known and accessible to everybody, but Roslyn might be faster since there's no double indirection when interpreting the script. It also depends on what language your users are comfortable with or could learn easily.

Classic BBS (code in comments)
Ah yeah, I looked into it more and decompiled the game to find that it appears they're using Jint to interpret the Javascript, and from testing with someone's REPL BBS server I can find that it's a pretty well isolated environment. Only ways around it I can think of are by exploiting some vulnerability in the sandbox to do external requests, modding the game itself to update the api, or running a parallel server to do some janky communication through the save state data.

.NET-compatible scripting languages for users to write their own scripts to query/manipulate objects/properties in the app
We used https://github.com/sebastienros/jint for scripting, it's ES5 JS implementation.

The experience of creating my own JavaScript runtime - #2
Jint is a JS interpreter with an integrated engine built in C#, like V8, he is responsible for all the base code execution as well as EcmaScript implementations such as default constructors, syntax, Promises... I studied its features in depth to start and it was a bit hard (in the beginning).

The experience of creating my own JavaScript runtime - #1
MelonRuntime is based on Jint, a JavaScript interpreter created by Sébastien Ros, software developer in the ASP.NET team at Microsoft. Melon works from bindings and functionalities injected into this interpreter together with external typing (provided by another package that comes with the default project generated by the command npx melon new) and built-in tools.

- Since you're asking yes u can use C# in unreal

Unity plan pricing and packaging updates
https://github.com/nxrighthere/UnrealCLR
I'm also surprised though they haven't just gone and added C# support as a first class option, it seems like such an obvious win.
-
Those who have worked in both unreal and unity, what have your experiences been like?
You can use C# in unreal: https://github.com/nxrighthere/UnrealCLR, they even got an epic megagrant.

C#
Surprise motherfucker

Will unreal add C# as an extra language?
UnrealCLR
-
How come Godot is by far the most recommended game engine, yet there are very few noticeable successful games made by it?
UnrealCLR has an Epic megagrant and supports .NET 6 already.
-
I’ll take “sentences I never thought I’d write” for 200, Alex
I mean, technically Unreal does have C# support via their community, but it lags a bit behind the engine and isn’t as fully featured as Unity or even Godot https://github.com/nxrighthere/UnrealCLR
- [PC Gamer] Unity is merging with a company who made a malware installer
-
Why is unity partnering with a company best known for making malware?
Biggest thing to note is that there's no stable release as of yet, so using UnrealCLR right now might not be the best idea for commercial games. There's also a few engine APIs missing from UnrealCLR, but from my own understanding, most of the common ones are there and ready to use.

ReactJS.NET - .NET library for JSX compilation and server-side rendering of React components
UrhoSharp - Code to integrate with the Urho3D engine
Enums.NET - Enums.NET is a high-performance type-safe .NET enum utility library
Harmony - A library for patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods during runtime
Outcome.NET - Never write a result wrapper again! Outcome.NET is a simple, powerful helper for methods that return a value, but sometimes also need to return validation messages, warnings, or a success bit.
