JavaScript is generally client side, so a bit limited with pulling from a third party source to update. I'd say php would be a better bet - php is also a c based language so is very similar. I'm not great with jacascript, but I can usually adapt most JavaScript functions to php easily enough. (I'm not great at php either....)
I do know of a php script for pulling the most recent links off a rss feed. (it was meant for the hikago chatroom, unfortunately get is broken in the version of the chatroom we have and I haven't quite figured out the workaround. But on a normal php page it's fine)
Ruby which ao3 is a bit different as it' object orientated as opposed to function orientated although skills you learn in function orientated will make it easier.
