What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

Most devs are stuck picking random languages, so this video breaks down the best picks for 2025 based on your goals—front-end/web apps (JavaScript/TypeScript), data and ML (Python), enterprise (C#/.NET, Java), performance (Golang, Rust), mobile (Kotlin/Swift), legacy/web back ends (PHP), and of course SQL for any data work. Each language is tied to real-world roles so you know exactly why you’d pick one over another.

It also plugs Tim’s DevLaunch mentorship (real projects, job help, no fluff) and a sweet Kinsta hosting deal, but the core takeaway is: figure out your target job or project, then pick the language that gets you there fastest.
