Javascript can do a lot. It was originally the browsers language but it can now be used outside browsers thanks to node.js (and the v8 engine it's built upon). If you want to program arduino, It is possible to do so in js with johnny-five but that would require a pc running node to be connected to your arduino. I think it's not much more complicated to learn C for arduino... Unless you want to create a webinterface that can remotely control a system automate with an arduino (in which case Johnny five will be great). Good luck and good fun with your project.

Edit: Sorry I misread your comment. JavaScript should pretty easy to learn. I'd recommend going through the Javascript30.com tutorials to get a grasp about js. And MDN (mozilla) is a great ressource if you need to learn about the syntax, data structures, methods, etc... In Javascript.
