Arch devs and fellow users,
I noticed that Arch doesn't officially provide many packages for nodejs. Right now, only one package in the official repository requires nodejs. Compare that with Python packages (426), Ruby(75), I think nodejs deserves more love in Archlinux -- there are more firefox extensions in the official repo than nodejs packages!
Is this situation the result of a techinical difficulty, or the lack of node popularity, or some political bias againist the nodejs platform? Personally, I'd like to see some excellent nodejs tools/apps to be officially supported, like coffeescript, grunt, bower, and atom-editor.
Cheers,
Xinkai

I can't speak for the official repo packagers, but I used to maintain a couple of nodejs packages in the AUR, but due to rapid development, dependency explosions, and lack of time on my part, I asked for them to be removed (they were voteless). I now use npm to maintain my nodejs packages. It's a damn sight easier.
