What Coding Language Does Roblox Use?

Roblox uses the coding language Lua. In Roblox, lines of Lua code are held in scripts.

Does Roblox use C++?

Yes. The Roblox programming language is a mixture of C++ and Lua, so you would ideally want some sort of familiarity with either of both of these programming languages to create a game for Roblox.

Can I use Java in Roblox?

You can use JavaScript or VBS or Python or any other scripting language you want. Roblox uses Lua, though, so none of those other languages are going to compile if you try to write with them using Roblox. Roblox uses Java and C++ to produce the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that you code Lua in.
