What programming language is ideal for client-side web automation (parsers, placeholders, etc.)?

Hello. Often you need to automate web actions. Now I use zennoposter, I also used iMacros.
What programming language is available for this?
I plan to make automators through post / get requests.
For now, I'm looking at Python.

The question is not correctly posed. The standard set of libraries in any language has the ability to make get / post requests. But unfortunately (or fortunately) there are many more problems in the field of web application automation that no language can easily solve out of the box.
There is a great library that solves this problem - Selenium WebDriver (all the GUI libraries that they offer are garbage, but the driver is a cool thing). They are so cool that Microsoft released a special driver for them.
There is a wrapper for this library for almost every language I've seen. Choose the language you like (or which you already know), find a wrapper - and into battle.
Good luck.
