The original code was autogenerated, which is why the style was very terse and verbose. It's still like that:

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/tree/master/models/apis

The fact that it feels very Java-esque comes from two things, in my mind:

   - the AWS API has Java-esque RPC calls
   - the request/response paradigm is easier for 
     code generation
Personally, I don't like the style of the SDK, but at least it's maintained by AWS; you can always wrap the parts you use to get a nicer interface.

What do you mean by "terse and verbose"?

Ugh I failed at english ='(

I mean, "terse" in the sense that it is very mechanical, raw, not very elegant. Verbose in that you need to type a lot of characters, or read a lot of instructions, to understand the meaning.

Maybe "inelegant" or "rough".

What was used to auto generate the code?

Unless things have changed drastically, they use internal tools to generate the code. I used to work on one of the SDK teams.

They have a makefile target called generate

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/Makefile#L31

Reading the code, it looks like the most important lines are around here: https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/blob/v1.0.0/private/model/...
