[Top Programming Languages in 2025]
In 2025, the tech job market is driven by languages that combine versatility, performance, and staying power:
👉🏼 Python leads the way, with nearly half of recruiters seeking it (45–46%) and a 26% TIOBE share. It dominates web development, data engineering, and AI 72% of developers use it professionally and 86% prefer it. *
👉🏼 JavaScript remains essential, powering front-end and increasingly back-end frameworks, with demand from 41.5% of recruiters. *
👉🏼 Java holds its ground in enterprise, Android, and large-scale systems, sought by nearly 40% of recruiters. *
👉🏼 Rising stars like TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, and Go along with reliable players like C #, SQL, and PHP offer strong career paths.
👉🏼 And the big surprise? COBOL is still highly in demand, especially in banking, insurance, and government, as legacy systems outlast retiring specialists.
For developers, mastering versatile languages while keeping an eye on both emerging tools and unexpected legacy demand is the smartest career move.
