Javascript is a tad basic. I would suggest something like python, but I'm not a complete expert.

For a jack of all trades, go with either javascript or python.

Javascript and C#. Those are definitely your friends. C# can be subbed for Python, but C# applications can be used on other devices with the .net framework.

python seems to be simple but it make more confusion when i really write program as syntax changes version to version.

I'm using python combined with Mechanize and Beautiful soup. Here is a sample that shows how you can login into facebook: https://simplapi.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/pythons-mechanize-login-like-a-user/

If you have to pick only one language, you should go with JavaScript. You will need to know it anyway when writing scrapers and bots even if you write them in another language because sometimes the only way to do something in the site is to execute js in the browser.

What he said. You definitely should learn the scripting languages like the back of your hand (HTML,CSS,JavaScript) and one programming language (Python, C#, Java) if you want to build bots and scrapers. Knowing how networking, browsers, servers, and the internet all work in tandem is also a huge plus.
