I'm going to guess:
The game itself will be built in C# or C++
BUT, the Modding API will utilize a different scripting engine.
My bet on a modding engine is actually going to be Lua or JavaScript. Although I've heard JS has limitations and flaws in game development so I'm gonna go with Lua.

I'm curious to see where it goes.
It's natural that the engine itself, as already discussed, will by in a lower-level language such as C++ or C#. These are safe, comfortable assumptions. Nothing outlandish, exciting or scandalous here.
Similarly, for an in-game editor it also makes sense to use a higher-level parsed language such as Javascript - so this would also be a very safe guess, and reasonable given the media presented.
Definitely don't understand the JS hate - it's a language with its quirks, but it's certainly not a bad language by any means. (*cue @TheComputerGeek2 's REEEEEEing*).
The code from the trailer, from what I can see, is as follows...
Now, this mostly looks like Javascript to me.
The first two lines are odd, but ultimately the syntax is right (though the supersecret comments aren't).
It also seems to have absolutely nothing to do with changing a cyclops into a pig - who would have guessed.
Ultimately, it's far from definitive, but seems reasonable enough.
Regardless of how it fares, I think it's good to see.
Competition drives progress.
Edit: Should have done some more reading first. It's discussed at https://hytale.com/news/2019/1/an-overview-of-hytales-server-technology regarding the system's languages - Java for the serverside code, C# for the engine (makes sense). This'll definitely make the serverside very open for mods and customisation.

Those comments look like java but they didn't do them right.
Rather they commented out an entire block of code.
Eyyyy C# is part of my CompSci degree ez clap
