What is devDependencies? Required to build the npm package?

I understood the script now I think. :)

I replaced "mocha" with name in the call in the bottom.

Then did:
$guile
scheme@(guile-user)> (define name "ssb-patchwork")
scheme@(guile-user)> (load "npm-explorer.scm")
...

As you said it runs for(ever) (in my case 5 minutes) listing 
dependencies of dependencies of dependencies of dependencies of 
dependencies of dependencies ...

1100 last lines of the output is attached. :p

One thing is for sure. There are a LOT of npm packages. "Over 477,000 
packages are available on the main npm registry." according to WP. :O

I wonder how many are free software? 90%? 50%?

I hope we can automate this some way.

npm.scm will be a VERY VERY long file. Maybe we should rethink about how 
to best store all these variables...

Just 1 npm application (ssb-patchwork) will add at least 1000 package 
definitions to it.
