Tim argues that picking a language without a clear goal is a recipe for wasted time, so he breaks down the best picks for 2025: JavaScript/TypeScript for modern web front-ends, Python for data/AI, C#/.NET in the enterprise world, Go for high-performance backends, Java for cross-platform, Kotlin/Swift for mobile apps, PHP for legacy web, Rust for systems programming, and good ol’ SQL for databases.

He also plugs his DevLaunch mentorship—real-world projects and job guidance—and a sweet deal for a free month of managed WordPress hosting if you migrate now.
