Oh how I love it to fetch a package via NPM, thinking it's gonna be JS-only and then being greeted by compiler errors because I don't have a C compiler setup on my Windows machine. Without falling on my face or reading the very end of the README, I would not know that I need C to run this Node package. Especially since the README says > NebulaDB runs on a Node server. I wish there was a way to declare non-Node dependencies in the package.json.
