I think there is often an implicit association of an ecosystem with a tool. When someone says scala, they might be thinking about Akka and the concentration of distributed systems people around it. When someone says python, they might be thinking of machine learning libraries. So, I think "tool" is misleading because it seems to imply just the core language.
