Spring is a collection of frameworks that impose their own structure and control flow so that one can focus on the parts of the design that are unique to one's situation. The Go language and standard library and the Go community have a very different mindset on delegation, structure, and control flow, so frameworks in the style of Spring or Rails aren't as widely used or popular. Go has also long based their packaging around the idea that locations of source code and the identity of a package are strongly bound. This meant that random github-hosted libraries were easy to pull in, but it also meant that people did pull in all sorts of random github-hosted libraries. In Java programming, it's more common to use a modest number of high-quality libraries and frameworks (which may, in fairness, have a lot of transitive dependencies), but not as common as it is in Go or Node to use a large number of direct dependencies sourced from all over the web.
