What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

In this video Tim argues that picking your next language should be goal-driven, not hype-driven, and then runs through the top contenders for 2025: JavaScript/TypeScript for full-stack chops; Python for data, scripting, and AI; C#/.NET in the enterprise; Go for high-performance back-ends; Java’s portability; Kotlin/Swift in mobile; PHP’s web legacy; Rust for safe, low-level code; and SQL for database mastery.

Beyond the rundown, Tim plugs DevLaunch, his mentorship program focused on building real-world projects, landing jobs, and cutting out the noise—plus a free month of managed WordPress hosting via his sponsor link.
