There are third party tools for every language. With go until now I haven't need any of them, so I don't know them. I read go's docs and I do fine with the official tool when I want to compile an app from source.

On the other hand, there isn't a way to not learn about gem, bundle, pip, easy_install, npm when you try to install apps written in their languages. Some times it is easy, as “gem install gollum” and some times it is difficult, as trying to install gitlab.

Haskell I really don't know because any haskell app I ever needed was in my distro's repositories. To be fair most Python packages are too.
