Top 10 Programming Languages of 2025

It's 2025 and the programming language landscape has evolved significantly since 2020. The popularity of certain languages has increased, while others have decreased in favor of more specialized alternatives. Here are the top 10 programming languages expected to dominate the industry in 2025: 1. Python: Python continues its dominance as one of the most popular and versatile languages. Its simple syntax, extensive library ecosystem, and wide range of applications make it a preferred choice for developers across various domains. Python's continued growth is attributed to its ease of use, rapid development capabilities, and robust community support. 2. JavaScript: JavaScript remains a mainstay in the list of top programming languages. It is the language of the web and is used extensively for front-end development, backend development, and creating web applications. With the increasing use of JavaScript frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, and Node.js, its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. 3. TypeScript: TypeScript has emerged as a favored choice for large-scale and complex JavaScript development projects. It provides static typing and superior tooling, leading to improved code quality, enhanced productivity, and better maintainability. As the demand for scalable and reliable applications increases, TypeScript is poised to grow further. 4. Java: Java remains a popular choice for enterprise applications, particularly for backend development. It boasts a large installed base and a robust ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. Additionally, with the continuous evolution of the Java language, it adapts to modern trends, ensuring its longevity. 5. C#: C# holds its position in the top programming languages due to its prominence in the Windows ecosystem and the gaming industry. With the release of C# 10 in 2025, we can expect better support for asynchronous programming, improved code organization, and more flexibility. These features will allow developers to create efficient and scalable applications. 6. Rust: Rust is a systems programming language that has gained considerable attention for its memory safety guarantees and performance. It is well-suited for developing concurrent and low-level systems, making it popular for developing operating systems, game engines, and network-oriented applications. 7. R: R remains a prominent language in the data analysis and scientific computing domains. Its simplicity, extensive statistical package, and data visualization capabilities continue to attract researchers, data scientists, and analysts. 8. PHP: PHP, despite its age, is still widely used for web development, particularly for crafting dynamic websites and web applications. It is the core language behind some of the most popular content management systems (CMS), such as WordPress and Drupal. 9. Go: Go shines in the realm of network servers, cloud-based services, and concurrent programming. Its simplicity, built-in support for concurrency, and robust standard library have led to its increased adoption in these areas. 10. Swift: Swift, developed by Apple, is primarily used for developing iOS, macOS, and other Apple platform apps. With the continued

Trump's Attempt to Unilaterally Control State and Local Funding is Dangerous, Dumb, and Undemocratic

The Trump administration has not been subtle in its desire to use federal funding for political punishment. Whether threatening to cut off grants to sanctuary cities, to block financial assistance to states that push back against the president’s demands, or to freeze all federal grants and loans for social services across the country, Trump and his allies want us to believe they can wield the federal budget like a weapon. The reality is that the administration’s ability to withhold or condition funding is far more limited than they let on. The Constitution, Supreme Court precedent, and long-standing federal law stand firmly in the way of this brazen abuse of presidential power. Trump’s Attempted Funding Freeze? Blocked Immediately A week into his second administration, Trump attempted to freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans that fund a vast array of critical services already approved by Congress. If allowed to go into effect, this unprecedented and far-reaching...

Documents Reveal Confusion and Lack of Training in Texas Execution

As Texas seeks to execute Carl Buntion today and Melissa Lucio next week, it is worth reflecting on the grave and irreversible failures that occurred when the state executed Quintin Jones on May 19, 2021. For the first time in its history — and in violation of a federal court’s directive and the Texas Administrative Code — Texas excluded the media from witnessing the state’s execution of Quintin Jones. In the months that followed, Texas executed two additional people without providing any assurance that the underlying dysfunction causing errors at Mr. Jones’ execution were addressed. This is particularly concerning given that Texas has executed far more people than any other state and has botched numerous executions. The First Amendment guarantees the public and the press have a right to observe executions. Media access to executions is a critical form of public oversight as the government exerts its power to end a human life. Consistent with Texas policy, two reporters travelled t...

The Supreme Court Declined a Protestors' Rights Case. Here's What You Need to Know.

The Supreme Court recently declined to hear a case, Mckesson v. Doe , that could have affirmed that the First Amendment protects protest organizers from being held liable for illegal actions committed by others present that organizers did not direct or intend. The high court’s decision to not hear the case at this time left in place an opinion by the Fifth Circuit, which covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, that said a protest organizer could be liable for the independent, violent actions of others based on nothing more than a showing of negligence. Across the country, many people have expressed concern about how the Supreme Court’s decision not to review, or hear, the case at this stage could impact the right to protest. The ACLU, which asked the court to take up the case, breaks down what the court’s denial of review means. What Happened in Mckesson v. Doe? The case, Mckesson v. Doe , was brought by a police officer against DeRay Mckesson , a prominent civil rights activi...
