The "tool & library ecosystem" in Java is one of its main reasons why many people avoids it like the plague.

And that using Java is almost impossible without such tools and 'frameworks' doesn't tell you much good about the language itself.

With Go there is little need for such extra stuff, and the tools that exist are very simple and very useful (eg., gofmt, gofix) without being required to make up for deficiencies in the language.
