What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

Most devs are spinning their wheels learning languages that don’t match their goals, so Tim walks you through picking the right one based on what you actually want to build. He hits the top contenders for 2025—JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#/.NET, Go, Java, Kotlin/Swift, PHP, Rust and SQL—and explains where each shines in real-world projects.

Along the way he ties every language recommendation to specific career paths, plus plugs a free month of managed WordPress hosting from his sponsor and his DevLaunch mentorship program for hands-on guidance.
