I don’t see many useful cli tools written in Java.

I don’t work much in Java-land these days, but there definitely were plenty of CLI tools when I did.

I've used plenty of java cli tools for batch processes that takes ages to run, having something launch fast or run interactively is a different story. No hate on java the jvm is just not that fast launching.
