 Some parsers require tools for compilation, like `gcc` and/or `g++`. There are far too many parsers for me to list (and keep track of) all their dependencies here, but `gcc` and `g++` should cover a lot of them.

 ### LuaSnip
-`jsregexp` is required in order to perform some [transformations](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_variable-transforms). See [here](https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip/blob/master/DOC.md#transformations) for more information. You don't need to install this yourself, because it will attempt to compile it automatically using `make` and `gcc`. If either `make` or `gcc` is not available you might see an error in the lazy installation of LuaSnip.
