How are pointers implemented in a language that doesn't support them?

Why people always mention tooling but never explicitly mention which tooling they miss? I use Java for 4 years and I constantly find stuff that's missing here where other languages have it baked in from day one

Because it's selling point is Flutter? Where you're forced to use Dart?

No isNullOrEmptyString method, no Set operations, Java didn't have a good HTTP library until Java 11, no lazy file reading, unless you use InputStream which is a pain.

vast majority of mediocre libraries and one man libraries. We use Spring because it uses the best libraries, so the other ones are discarded.

Java being around for so long doesn't have a lot of convenience methods like others do languages do, like the ones I mentioned in the beginning.

So no, Java is a half assed programming language which C# and NET CORE should replace
