something I think nodejs software developers don't undestand is that using and running node-based software as an admin is miserable; it's basically impossible to package for a distro sanely, the actual software ends up taking up huge amounts of disk space, the dependency kudzu situation makes it really difficult to trust anything...
basically unless it's the only option I will avoid it. at least go software tends to result in easily usable binaries.
"just use docker" you know full well that this is not a solution it's just hiding the problem
@izzy I've seen a linux command line tool that was defined as an alias to run a docker container. This is going too far.
