What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

Picking your next language totally depends on your goal—whether you want to build slick web apps, dive into data science, or snag that enterprise gig. This video kicks off by helping you figure out what you actually want to accomplish, then walks through the biggest players: JavaScript/TypeScript for web and full-stack, Python for AI and automation, C#/.NET for corporate environments, Go for performance and microservices, and Java for large-scale systems.

After that, it’s a whirlwind tour of Kotlin/Swift for mobile, PHP if you’re dealing with legacy websites, Rust for super-safe systems programming, and good ol’ SQL for any data-driven role. Plus, there’s a shout-out to DevLaunch, a hands-on mentorship program that gets you building real projects and landing jobs—no fluff, just results.
