## FAZIT/POSITION
Das Video bietet eine fundierte Analyse der Programmiersprachen der Zukunft, um Entwicklern zu helfen, die richtigen Entscheidungen für ihre Karriere zu treffen. Die Wahl der Sprache sollte stets vom individuellen Karriereziel abhängen.
Most software engineers that I talk to are
learning the wrong programing language. They have no idea what they should be focusing on,
and that's why I want to make this video. Today I'm going to talk about the best
languages to learn in 2025 and why. And I'm going to tie all of these
to a particular goal and person. So I'm not just going to straight up tell you learn Python or learn JavaScript
or learn go. I'm going to tell you
why you should learn those languages. And if you're the type of person
who would benefit from spending the time to master them. Anyways, with that said, let's get into the video and start
by talking about your overall goal. Now, like I said,
I can't just blindly prescribe anyone, you know, go learn Python or go learn
JavaScript or go learn this language. You need to know why you're learning it. In order to do that,
you need to start from your goal. So are you looking to land a job
as fast as possible? Are you looking to do
frontend web development? Do you want to work
with mobile applications? Do you want to get into
AI and machine learning? You need to ask yourself what do you want
to do with software development? So before you go through the rest
of this video, pause and ask yourself the question,
why am I learning to code and why do I even want to learn
another programing language? If you can come up with the answer
to that question and you know what you're interested
in working with and why, that's going to help you to determine
which language to use. Okay. So with that said, let's start
going through the languages. I have ten on this list. I'm going to spend about a minute
for each of them and explain to you some quick kind of features
or information about the language, and then ultimately,
who should pick that or learn it. So the first language or languages
on my list is JavaScript slash TypeScript. Now I'm putting these together because if you learn JavaScript
you might as well just learn TypeScript. And that's what you're going to be using in a majority of the work
that you would do with this language. Now JavaScript is the language of the web. If you want to do anything
related to web development, you need to learn this language,
especially if you want to do anything related to frontend design
or user interfaces. JavaScript
makes it extremely easy to build websites. There's popular frameworks
like react, Angular and Vue, which are used all around the world
and for millions of jobs. And JavaScript is the most popular
programing language in the world. It has the most number of jobs, and if you
want to land a position as a beginner, this is probably the easiest way
to get into development. And this is a very beginner
friendly language. Now that said, JavaScript is not the best for low level or high performance systems. It is very competitive because pretty much
everyone knows the language, and I would really only pick this
as your first language. If you are someone who does
want to get into web development. If you want to get into robotics
or you want to just work on the back end, you don't care about UI or front end, then probably skip this
and move on to something else. That said, it is a great choice and most people
I do recommend starting with JavaScript simply because it's really easy
to see what you're building. And for beginners,
this can be quite helpful because they can actually see
what they're building. Whereas if you use a language like Python,
for example, it's a little bit less intuitive and you're working
more in the console or the terminal with text based applications
as opposed to full user interfaces. Now, while there are tons of jobs
that require JavaScript, you're not going to stand out as much as
if you knew another programing language, because it's a very competitive field and pretty much
everyone learns this language. So yes, it can be a very fast way
to get into software development, but just keep in mind
that if you were to pick another language, you may actually have
some better prospects in the job market because it's going to be a little bit less competitive
and you'll know a more niche skill. Regardless, great language
to learn, one that I use all the time and that I recommend to a lot of beginners
that like to work on the front end. Anyways, with that
said, let's move on to the next one. But before we do that, I want to tell you what drives me
absolutely crazy as a developer. And that's when a website slows to a crawl
or randomly goes down and you're stuck playing tech support. Just to keep it running. Now that's why I like today's sponsor,
Kinsta. It's managed hosting for WordPress
that actually takes the stress out of running your site. They handle all of the hard stuff
like speed, security, and backups so you can focus on,
you know, keeping your business running. Now your site can run up to 200% faster
thanks to their Google Cloud Platform network, 37
data centers, and 300 plus CDN locations. And if something goes wrong,
you're talking to real WordPress experts, not chat bots or AI any time of the day,
any day of the year. You can access their experts. Now they've even earned the number one
ranking on G2 for WordPress hosting, trusted by over
120,000 businesses from agencies managing dozens of sites to companies
like Clickup and Streaming Frog. So if you're tired of being your own IT department, switch your site to Kinzer
and your site will just work. Not to mention kids lose Control panel is so intuitive
you'll actually enjoy managing their site. They'll even handle the migration for you and your first month is free
with a 30 day money back guarantee. Check out the link in the description or
scan the QR code on screen to get started. Thanks to Kingston,
now let's get back into it. Okay, so the next language on my list
is of course, Python. Now Python is right up there
with JavaScript when it comes to popularity,
and it's another very beginner friendly language
that a lot of people like to dive into. Now, Python is best for a few different
tasks back end web development. So not necessarily building the website
or the UI, but kind of the servers and the APIs
for anything related to data science or data analysis
and of course for machine learning and AI. So if you want to build AI agents,
if you want to do your custom machine learning models, if you're interested in all of that stuff,
then Python is definitely the go to language
and it really wins in that area. That said, it's not the best for people
that like to make visual applications. It's very hard
to make user interfaces with it. It's not the most performant language
in the world for embedded systems or robotics. It's really not a great choice, and it does have some limiting factors,
but it is still very versatile. So if you're someone who's interested
in data science, machine learning, or backend web development,
this is definitely a language to go with. However, if you want to make
any kind of user interface, if you want to make high performance
applications, if you want something that's a very fast,
performant, new modern language, Python is not the choice for you. That said,
if you're a complete beginner, it's probably the easiest language
that you can learn and get started with, and then you can transition into something
a little bit more capable later on. Now, for those of you
that are looking for a job similarly to JavaScript, there are tons of
jobs for Python developers. However, they are usually niche specific. So Python web developer, Python
data scientist, Python AI engineer you get the idea. And well, there is tons of jobs. Again, it's going to be very competitive because pretty much
everybody knows Python. So you're competing against literally
every developer who knows this language, which is millions. Anyways, that's Python. Now let's move on to the next one. Moving on. The next language on my list is C sharp
slash dot net. Now C sharp is similar to C plus. Plus it is the same family, but it is a bit of a different language
in terms of performance and use cases. So it is still used for game development. For example, if you look at something
like unity, very popular game engine uses C sharp and a lot of Triple-A
games are made with C sharp. That said, it's going to be less common for things like embedded systems
or quantitative trading applications or anything that requires really,
really high, low level performance. And it's going to be more tailored
towards large enterprises. Companies like banks, for example,
insurance companies, a lot of them are using C sharp
now can also be used for back end APIs for web development, can be used
for cloud applications. A few other use cases as well
that I'm probably forgetting here, but overall
it is a pretty popular language. It's used a lot
in some of the older companies that have been around for a while, like
a lot of software just built with C sharp, and if you were to work as a C sharp
developer, it's very common that you'll be working on large enterprise
grade applications. They require the type, safety
and some of the features that C sharp has. That's how it is
used in some modern applications as well. But most startups in Silicon Valley are
not coding everything in C sharp anyways. If you are someone looking to get a job,
this is definitely a good language to master and get into. If you are really good at C sharp,
you are going to stand out. There's
going to be significantly less competition and if you have that competency,
you're usually going to get paid more than like a front end
JavaScript developer. Moving on. We have the next language on my list,
which is one of my personal favorites. And this is go or go Lang. Now, this is a relatively new language. It was developed at Google by Google
engineers to solve problems that they had. It is essentially a Python like language in terms of the syntax
and the way that you write it. With the performance of a language
like C plus plus, it is almost always used for cloud applications
and backend services, especially for large distributed applications
with things like microservices. This is not a beginner language
in terms of its application. It is typically better suited for people
that are mid or senior level engineers. And if you are going for a go developer
position, just keep that in mind that there's going to be fewer
junior roles because of what you're typically doing
with this language. That said, is a very fun language
to write in. It has a lot of great concurrency
features, and it has Python like syntax, which makes it fairly easy to learn
even as a beginner, and a lot more efficient to write
than something like C++ or even C sharp. Anyways, go I think is a great choice, but pretty much only if you're looking
to get into kind of cloud development. Microservices, large distributed systems. That's really where the language
shines. And again, I think is a great one to check out
and one of my personal favorites. Moving on. The next language on my list is Java
no Java. Similarly to C,
sharp is used with larger enterprises. Companies like banks, insurance
companies can be used for large back end systems, and especially
for some of the top fortune 500 companies, they almost always have massive amounts
of code written in Java. If you want a bit more of a stable career,
you want to work for a larger company than Java is
definitely a good option to go with. It is very mature,
the JVM is very popular, means you can run the application
pretty much anywhere. And again, this is just a good safe
bet as a developer. Now, Java is also one of the most popular
programing languages in the world. Almost always comes in
within the top five. It is very popular among
large organizations, similarly to C sharp, where you're going to see it used at big banks, big insurance
companies, government agencies. It's also very popular
for Android app development. Now Java has a very mature ecosystem. It is a very stable
kind of carrier to get into, because you're always
going to have a company to work for. And again,
if you can become a really good job developer, you are going to stand out
and find it's a little bit less competitive than areas
like Python and JavaScript. That said, if you want to go work
in San Francisco for startup with five people,
this is not the language to be learning. And just to quickly contrast this to C
sharp, if you're working with C sharp, you might be doing game development,
but you're particularly going to be working on
Microsoft related stacks. Again using the Dot. Net framework, you know, windows
servers, things along those lines. Whereas with Java
you're going to be working with the JVM. It's a little bit
more agnostic to Microsoft. So just keep that in mind
regardless, that is Java. Let's move on to the next one
for the next spot on my list, I actually am pairing two languages,
and that's going to be Kotlin and Swift. If you are interested in doing iOS
or Android app development, then you pretty much just need to learn
one of these two languages, Kotlin. If you want to do any Android development, and Swift
if you want to do any iOS development. Now, just to keep in mind, you also can use Java for example,
for doing development on Android, and you can also use a language called
Objective-C for doing development on iOS. However,
the two languages that I presented here again, Kotlin
for Android and Swift for iOS are the more modern, newer languages
that are typically being adopted. And again,
if you want to make mobile applications, you pretty much just use these languages,
okay. There is other ways to do it. You can use something like React
Native for example with JavaScript. But as someone who did that for over two
years, I typically do not recommend that. And I suggest using the native languages designed by those platforms
to actually build these applications. Again, that's it. You want mobile apps, you need to use
these next language on my list is PHP. Now this is one
that a lot of newer developers may laugh at because
there's all kinds of memes going around. You know, PHP is a garbage language, etc. however,
PHP is actually a very good language. It is something that pretty much built the entire web as we know it,
and it's also very good for WordPress. If you are a PHP developer,
you almost certainly will know a little bit about WordPress and
be working on a lot of WordPress sites. And actually, if you look at the web,
a majority of websites are actually still built
and maintained with WordPress, especially for smaller
and mid-sized companies. So if you know this language,
you actually have a huge advantage. You can get all kinds of work. And I can tell you I worked with a senior
PHP developer in dev launch. He had absolutely no issues getting jobs
or even getting freelance clients, because he was one of the few people
who actually knew PHP. And in today's market,
pretty much no one is learning that. So while yes, it is an older language,
it's used in more of like the legacy code. Very few people are spinning up
new PHP websites nowadays. There is a massive portion of the internet
that relies on these developers and this language,
so it's something worth considering. Again,
maybe not the one that you want to learn right away, but something that you can add to your toolkit
to have a bit of a competitive advantage. Moving on, we have the next language
on my list, which is rust. Now, rust is a pretty new language that is
getting a ton of hype in the community. It has memory safety,
which is a huge feature and is particularly used for embedded systems
or anything that requires low level, extreme performance,
things like microprocessors, for example. I am not a rust developer, to be honest. I have not used the language that much,
but I just know that this is very popular. It is used for all kinds
of low level services, and while it is not nearly as popular as something
like C sharp or C plus plus it is slowly gaining in popularity and good rust
developers are very hard to fund. My bet is that if we look at rust
in the next ten years, it's going to be something
that's very in-demand and that people are constantly looking for good developers for
because of the advantages of the language. So my assumption would be
that if you were to learn rust now, you'd be very happy with that decision
in, you know, a few years from now. Again, I could be wrong on that,
but that is kind of my thought process on rust here. Newer language not as adopted currently,
but it has a lot of great features. You can build some really cool stuff
with it, and it's something that I think
will pay off in the long run. Okay, now we move on to my last language,
which is kind of more of a bonus because
it's not really a programing language, but this is SQL or Structured
Query Language. Now this is the language
they use for databases. You want to do anything relate to data analysis, data science,
or even back end web development. You need to know SQL. You don't need to be an expert, but
you have to have at least the basics down. This is something that has stood the test of time and is used in
pretty much every single company. Unless of course,
you're using a NoSQL database. But still, SQL is just very, very popular. I'm not going to go into it too much. The point is,
this is something that every developer I think should know a little bit about. So please consider learning it
and I promise you you will not regret it. Anyways, guys, that is my list. Those are all of the languages
that I think you should consider in 2025. Of course there are others,
there are more niche ones and I'm not going to tell you
not to learn something, but that is the general consensus
of what I've seen as popular and what makes sense. Now, if you want some one on one advice
for your specific situation, you need some guidance
or you're not sure what to learn, or you're more of an experienced
developer, you're not sure how you should position it
or brand yourself. Consider joining dev Watch. This is a program designed by myself
as well as two other senior software engineers. We personally work with you one on one through mock interviews,
structured guidance, roadmaps, etc. to make sure that you're able to land
a better software engineering position. We've only been doing this
for five months now. We've already had extreme results. We've gotten ten plus people's jobs
just in the past few weeks, and I'm confident
