What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

In this video, Tim breaks down why most developers pick the wrong language and shows you how to choose based on your personal goals—whether you’re building web apps, diving into data science, or targeting enterprise jobs. He stresses that there’s no single “best” language; it all boils down to what you actually want to create.

He then walks through the top languages for 2025: JavaScript/TypeScript for modern web development, Python for ML and automation, C#/.NET for enterprise systems, Go for high-performance services, Java (and Kotlin/Swift) for mobile, PHP for quick websites, Rust for systems programming, and SQL for databases. Plus, he plugs his DevLaunch mentorship program for real-world projects and job-ready skills.
