What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

Tim argues that most devs pick languages without a clear goal, so he breaks down the best picks for 2025: start with JavaScript/TypeScript for web apps, use Python for data and automation, lean on C#/.NET in enterprise, choose Go for scalable backends, Java (and Kotlin/Swift) for mobile, stick with PHP for legacy web, experiment with Rust for systems, and never forget SQL for databases. Each segment has a timestamp so you can jump straight to the language you care about.

Beyond the deep dives, Tim’s pushing DevLaunch—his hands-on mentorship program that skips the fluff and helps you build real projects and land jobs. There’s also a sponsor offer for a free month of managed WordPress hosting if you need to migrate or launch a site.
