alt Hacker News> but several features in ntfy won't be available through debian packaging due to missing golang and nodejs packages
Woah. Shouldn’t Node and Golang be in Debian’s official repos by now?

Yes but not all packages written in those languages are.
Nodejs itself is, but when you install a node project manually, you type npm install and wait while it downloads the 500 different packages it depends on.
Debian follows the same philosophy as for other more traditional languages and expects that all these dependencies are packaged as individual Debian packages.
