What Programming Language to Learn in 2025 and WHY

Tim dives into how your end goal should drive the language you pick—whether that’s front-end wizardry, back-end stability, mobile apps or systems programming. He’ll save you time by calling out common pitfalls and bad habits that trip up devs who jump into the “wrong” language for their dream job.

He then runs through the hottest picks for 2025—JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#/.NET, Go, Java, Kotlin/Swift, PHP, Rust and even SQL—explaining what each one is best suited for. Along the way, he peppers in real-world use cases, rants about pet peeves and plugs his DevLaunch mentorship for anyone ready to build actual projects and land that killer role.
