It's been crazy how far Java (the language) has come in the past half-decade, while it seems like the tooling around the language has not improved at all.

Sure most developers have progressed from Maven to Gradle, but not having something like `npm` or `poetry/pip` certainly puts a damper on the developer experience for the language.

Even C# and the .NET ecosystem attempt to solve this with NuGet, I would say their experience is not as excellent as other languages but still its a valiant effort.
